Reading an html file?

Question

How would you go about opening a page such as http://www.google.com/ and then reading the source and passing this into a string or buffer of some sort?

Answer 1

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class Test
     public static void main(String[] a)
          Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); //the command prompt inputstream
          System.out.print("Enter URL: ");
          String target = in.next(); //get the next string entered. A space is the delimiter so there can't be any spaces
          Scanner scan = null;
          try{
               scan = new Scanner(new URL(target).openStream()); //the site's inputstream
          }catch(Exception x){
               System.out.println("Error: site not found"); //if they didn't enter a valid URL do this
          while(scan.hasNextLine()) //while there is another line in the file
               System.out.println(scan.nextLine()); //print that line
}
