Description
The following code shows how to read keyboard input with BufferedInputStream.
Example

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Main {
public static String readLine() {
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
try {
BufferedInputStream buff = new BufferedInputStream(System.in);
int in = 0;
char inChar;
do {
in = buff.read();
inChar = (char) in;
if ((in != -1) & (in != '\n') & (in != '\r')) {
response.append(inChar);
}
} while ((in != -1) & (inChar != '\n') & (in != '\r'));
buff.close();
return response.toString();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
return null;
}
}
public static void main(String[] arguments) {
System.out.print("\nWhat is your name? ");
String input = readLine();
System.out.println("\nHello, " + input);
