Accepting User Input -- How?

[Art Teye]

How can I accept input from the user during runtime (command line interface)?
For example, prompting the user to continue, then continuing or exiting based on their reply?
Thank you.

Try something like:

        BufferedReader consoleIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));        
        String stringInt = consoleIn.readLine();
        if (whatever){
             System.out.println("some error message");
             System.exit(0);
        }
        else {
            whatever
        }
