ah yes, so there is. i've never tried it either, because after all, if i
wantedcommand line stuff, i would probably use perl, or maybe c++ if i was
feeling
really masochistic. but looking at the web page
http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/java.lang.System.html#getProperties()
http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/java.util.Properties.html#_top_
it looks like you could do something like this:
Properties p = System.getProperties();
String nl = p.getProperty("line.separator");
and then see if the next stuff on System.in is the same as nl.
i guess that would be portable. so to correct my previous
statement, "this command line stuff is easy to write non-portably
and a bit more work to write portably."
