? about System.out.read()

[Paul LaBrier]

I have a simple console application that I need to insert a pause in.
Basically I am wanting a "press any key to continu" type thing.
I thought that I should be able to do it with:
System.out.read()
but I cannot seem to get it to work.
I tried searching the internet and could find very little on this topic.
Any suggestions?

Try this

  
import java.io.*;
class Test{
 public static void main(String args[]){
    System.out.println("Hello");
    try{
    System.in.read();
    }
   catch(Exception e){
    System.out.println(e);
   }
    System.out.println("World");
}
}

The program will print Hello and then pause for user input. If you hit the enter key "World" will get printed on screen.
Hope this helps.
