Say I have the below code
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
line = scanner.nextLine();
//do something
}
And my input in the console is goes like this.
Wayne Rooney
Luis Nani
Shinji Kagawa
I want to read this line by line.
But the problem is the method hasNextLine blocks waiting for the input after the third line as the input from the keyboard (System.in) never reaches EOF.
Now, how do I reach EOF just by pressing enter key? because I don't want to tell the user to press the Ctrl+z to run my program.
How is it generally done? Any thoughts?
I am looking for a solution from the Java side and not any commands on the console.
Thanks in advance

How is it generally done?: It is usually done by showing a message to the user and requesting some special word to finish the input.
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String line;
System.out.println("Enter names (\"QUIT\" to finish)");
while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
line = scanner.nextLine();
if (line.equals("QUIT")) {
break;
}
}
// ...
}
In the example above the special word used is "QUIT", of course you will change this to a more appropriated one.
