BufferedReader, detecting if there is text left to read
bufferedreader, java, java-io
Solution
No, there's no easy way to do that. `BufferedReader` has a `ready` call, but that only applies to the `read` calls, not the `readLine` call. If you really want a `readLine` that's guaranteed not to block, you must implement it yourself using `read` and maintaining a `char` buffer yourself.
Problem
I'm running a thread and everytime it runs, It should be checking to see if there is a new line to read from the `BufferedReader` although, it gets stuck waiting for a line to exist, thus halting the entire code. ``` if((inputLine = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null){ System.out.println(inputLine); JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, inputLine); } ``` Is there a way to better check if there is text in a `BufferedReader` to be read?
