[rithish]

You can use System.setOut(PrintStream out) to redirect all System.out.print data to the stream of your choice. If you use a ByteArrayOutputStream then you will get all the output in a byte array that can easily be converted to a String.
Is that what you meant?

actually, when you write System.out.println("hello");
you already have it in a String. are you trying to work with input through the command prompt?
