Help with boxing text inside of java console.

**Happypanda** · 06-24-2012, 05:23 AM

I need to print text so there will be a box around it.
I can only use basic variables and commands that were used in a basic hello app. Any help will be very helpful.
PLEASE EXPLAIN CLEARLY

Here is my current code the only thing that i need to change is that when I run it, it should have boxes around both the first two print lines and Name.

public class JPennyLane
{
public static void main(String[] theory)
{
System.out.println("\t\t Ventura Cunty Community College District" );
System.out.println("\t\t\t Ventura College" );
System.out.println("\n\t\t\t\t CS V40" );
System.out.println("\t\t\t Summer of 2012" );
System.out.println("\t\t\t\t Name" );
System.out.println("\n\n\n\n\t\t\t I got it... I got it... I got it..\n\n\t");

}

}

If you do know how to do it please let me know. Or maybe tell me where I can find some explanations.

I'm really desperate at the moment.

Thanks a bunch,

You've yet to explain your problem "clearly". What do you mean by a box around the text.

Also a slight suggestion: when asking for free advice from volunteers, try not to put stipulations in that request (i.e., about explaining clearly). Folks will try to be clear in their answers, but it's up to you to ask appropriate follow-up questions if *you* are unsure of the advice given.
