About command line arguement

Question

I want to take in a list a of words from a file as a command line argument, like the following input to the command line:
hello
hi
cat
dog
fish
how this should be done?I only know I could use a single line when specifing command line argument,how can I use multiple lines?
thanks.

Answer 1

A command line is only a single line. You specify it
when program execution is started:
java TestProgram arg1 arg2 ...
If you want to specify multiple lines of data then
this becomes program input and you must create you own
input loop in your program. Something like:
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader( System.in
String line = "";
while ( (line = in.readLine() ) != null )
System.out.println( line );
Or create a small simple class that reads the file but into an array instead of a single line, and call the main method of your class with that array.
