BufferedReader

[Ayo Ayo]

Hello all,

I am trying to write a program that prompts the user to enter a single character e.g 'Y'. The problem is that when I try to read it using the BufferedReader Object: readLine() method and do some comparism with another char variable, it gives me the wrong result, ie always 'No' No matter the input. Does anybody know of a method used to read in a single character?

My code is as follows;

String InData;
String intData1 = "Y"';
BufferedReader dataString =
new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Would you like pin strip (�250.00) Y/N"); InData=dataString.readLine();

if(InData1=='InData')
{
System.out.println("ok");
}
else
{
System.out.println("No");
}

THANKS

Use String.equals() to compare strings, not ==.

Look at the API doc for InputStreamReader read() method.
