How to Read from Standard Input?

Question

Hi,
I am new to Java. Been reading the tutorial, but still unable to find How to read from standard Input.
Can anyone help? Thanks.
Here is my simple & error code:
public class test
public static void main(String[] args)
char filename[];
int i=0;
System.out.print("Type in a filename to read: ");
while ( System.in(filename) != -1 )
i++;
System.out.print(filename);

import java.io.*;
public class forum{
     public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
InputStreamReader is = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(is);
String input = "";
do
try
System.out.println("Enter command: ");
input = br.readLine();
catch ( IOException io ) {}
} while (!input.equals("exit"));

package to import is java.io.*;
