Question

I have this code for converting a markdown string to html:

public static String convert(String str) {
    if (str.equals("# "))
        return " ";

    if (str.matches("#+.+")) {
        int n = str.length() - str.replaceFirst("#+", "").length();
        return "<h" + n + ">" + str.substring(n) + "<h" + n + ">";
    }

    return str;
}

What I would like to know is how to get this class to get its string from keyboard entry?

Answer 1

You could use Scanner.nextLine():

String stringToConvert = new Scanner(System.in).nextLine();
System.out.println("Converted string is: " + convert(stringToConvert));
