Dear All,
I have snippet of code as below. It is a listener which is waiting for the data so I use local to telnet to this program in the same machine. Nothing gets printed unless after sending the data I press enter. On the other hand if I use read method it prints it well chracter by chracter.
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
// Print the content on the console
System.out.println (line);
}Yes, that's what readLine is. It reads a line, a line being marked by a newline character, which is what you send when you hit enter.
(I presume that r is a BufferedReader - please provide these details next time, so the people who want to help you don't have to make guesses about what they're looking at, and they spend their time solving your problem, not trying to figure out what it is)
Dear Jon,
Sorry below is my full codes. If you notice this part of the code while ((m=r.read()) != -1) I have commented it out it works fine but the problem it process character by character.I just send the same string for the readline it does not work the same where I must press enter. How to achieve the same effect here?

}Dear Jon,
Any comments why is the readline not able to function as the read? Thank you.
It gets characters line by line because that's what readline does. Look at the API for BufferedReader:
Dear Jon,
I notice my line ends with -1 so how to cater that for readline just as I do in read it works fine. Thank you.
