stop the loop when enter nothing

You will never be able to enter a null string. The readLine will wait until the enter caracter (at least) is entered. You have two solutions :
1. to provide an exit string (in my example "exit")
2. to implement a Timer which will count for an noumber of seconds and if nothing happends, force the exit from loop.

1.
import java.io.*;

public class x {
public static void main(String[] args) {
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (System.in));
try {
  String line = null;
  System.out.print("Enter any string : ");
  while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println("Entered : " + line);
    if(line.equalsIgnoreCase("exit"))
      break;
    System.out.print("Enter any string : ");
  }
} catch(Exception e) {System.out.println(e.toString());}
}
}

try this 1
import java.io.*;

public class TestReader
{
     public static void main(String h[])
     {
          try
          {
          String temp = null;
          BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (System.in));
           do{
           System.out.print("Enter any string: ");
           
           temp=br.readLine();
          System.out.println("U Enter ------->"+temp);
          if(temp.length()==0)
               return;
           }while (temp!=null);
          }
          catch(IOException ioe)
          {
               ioe.printStackTrace();
          }

     }
}

Another solution is:

String line;
while( (line = br.readLine()) != null )
{
  if( line.ttrim().length() == 0 )
    break;
  // process line here...
}

put an if statement
if (br.readLine ()=null) {
system.exit(1);
}

OR

if (br.readLine()=null)
break;

this should work

thanks for providing solution, i will see which one is most efficient, thanks!
