Hello,

I wnat to read chars from STDIN console as they are typed in and without
waiting for \n. I tried with no luck somethink like this:

//Use a BufferedReader to read characters from the console.
import java.io.*;

class reader {
	public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
		char c;
		System.out.println("Enter characters, 'q' to quit.");
		// read characters
		do {
			c = (char) System.in.read();
			System.out.println(c);
		} while (c != 'q');
	}
}

This does not work in FreeBSD+eclipse and as well not when started as

$ javac reader.java
$ java -cp . reader

Any ideas? Thx

	matthias

La referencia de la Duma a la anexión de la RDA, en este caso al contrario con la Crimlía sin
referéndum, no solamente tiene gracia sino da en el blanco.-
