I am not sure how you are supposed to read in from system input from a Java file.
I want to be able to call java myProg < file
Where file is what I want to be read in as a string and given to myProg in the main method.
Any suggestions?
You can use System.in
to read from the standard input. It works just like entering it from a keyboard. The OS handles going from file to standard input.
import java.util.Scanner; class MyProg { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Printing the file passed in:"); while(sc.hasNextLine()) System.out.println(sc.nextLine()); } }
Well, you may read System.in
itself as it is a valid InputStream
. Or also you can wrap it in a BufferedReader
:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
