Hi,

I am implementing a project and a small of that project is accepting input from user through command line. I have written the following code to do that


The problem i am facing is that the user has to press Enter twice to send the input. As you all can see, i have even tried to do the same thing using Scanner class. Can you guys suggest me what i am missing.

Why are you using the flush() method? That isn't usually necessary. I have never used it; don't know whether that is your problem.

I can't see anything else which would require two "enters". Sorry.

have you tried to remove System.out.flush();
then run the program again?

Still can't see anything which requires double enter. Is there any more code?

Here is the entire class that i wrote. This is part of an Instant Messenger project. The run method of this class doesnt run in a separate thread. It is a plain Method. It is called from some other class. I basically tried quite a few things like:

Using Flush/ Without using Flush
Using Scanner Class/Without using scanner class

The snippet that i posted above is from the doChat() method.

Your posted code is too long to read, and does not appear to contain the two flush() calls you originally posted.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
