Buffered Reader

[lenin42001]

All help gratefully recieved. What exactly is a buffered reader? We know it reads
bytes from a zip.file but can it also read input that has been put into the terminal-window? We are using BlueJ & it is very confusing...... ......

Google \"BufferedReade r java\" and open the first page that is hit there.

I'm reading lots of bytes over bluetooth and it seems that my decoding part of my code is slower than the bluetooth receiving speed.

will buffered reader help in preventing overruns on my situation?

how would i implement using this read statement?

if((len = _port.read(_rec eiveBuffer, 0, length == -1 ? _receiveBuffer. length : length)) != 0)

thanks...

A BufferedReader by itself has nothing to do with ZipInputStreams , as a matter
of fact, the two don't like each other one bit: a ZipInputStream reads binary data
while a Reader (such as a BufferedReader) does character translations as in
UTF-8 etc. Perhaps you want to use a BufferedInputSt ream instead?

kind regards,
