How to Get Input from Command Prompt?

Question

How can i get input from command prompt like
C:\
or linux ?
(Here's what I use now)
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String line;
Whlie((line=in.readLine())!= null)
{ System.out.prinln( line) ; }
IS THERE A BETTER WAY?

Answer 1

The main method within a java class accepts command line input through a String array.
In this example args is the String array. You can access the parameters as args[0] for the first parameter, args[1] for the second parameter, etc....
The usage for the example below would be :
c:\EDIFormat file1 file2
Where args[0] would equal file1 and args[1] would equal file2.
public class EDIFormat {
public static void main(String[] args) {
          if (args.length < 0) {
               System.out.println("No Parameters supplied. Exiting....");
               // open input and output files
               EDIFiles(args[0], args[1]);
Hope that helps!
