Reading in from System.in - Java

You can use System.in to read from the standard input. It works just like entering it from a keyboard. The OS handles going from file to standard input.

class MyProg {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Printing the file passed in:");
        while(sc.hasNextLine()) System.out.println(sc.nextLine());
    }
}
