BufferedReader consoleIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Please enter a player:");
char name[] = String.parse(consoleIn.readLine());
I sort of knew it was System.In and I can work it out for an integer (int option = Integer.parseInt(consoleIn.readLine())  but not for a string. Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Joe

Ahem, readLine() *is* returning a String...

In case it's needed, a second ahem:
String myString = consoleIn.readLine() ;
In case it's not yet an oft read resource: The J2SE API Documentation
