Hi all, it's been a while.
I'v been working on writing my own mud client in Java, primarily to be used for the Mud Achaea.
I "borrowed" the telnet client code from the Java Cookbook in order to get an idea ow writing the basic client might work, but I seem to be having issues getting the prompt to display until after I type a command and was wondering if someone might be able to help me see what needs to be done. Here's the basic code(uncommented) from the Java Cookbook.
CODE
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Telnet {
String host;
int portNum;
public static void main(String[] argv) {
new Telnet().talkTo(argv);
}
private void talkTo(String av[]) {
if (av.length >= 1)
host = av[0];
else
host = "localhost";
if (av.length >=2)
portNum = Integer.parseInt(av[1]);
else
portNum = 23;
System.out.println("Host " + host + "; port " + portNum);
try {
Socket s = new Socket(host, portNum);
new Pipe(s.getInputStream(), System.out).start();
new Pipe(System.in, s.getOutputStream()).start();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
return;
}
System.out.println("Connected OK");
}
}
class Pipe extends Thread {
BufferedReader is;
PrintStream os;
Pipe(InputStream is, OutputStream os) {
this.is = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
this.os = new PrintStream(os);
}
public void run() {
String line;
try {
while ((line = is.readLine()) != null) {
os.print(line);
os.print("\r\n");
os.flush();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
Any help would be appreciated.
I have recently revisted this project and began working on a system from scratch. I am still finding it difficult to get the server's prompt to display until after input something and hit enter, which results in something like.
CODE

Enter an option or enter your character's name. ��
The prompt should be:
CODE
Enter an option or enter your character's name.
If the suggested solution will in fact work for this, how would I do this?
