newbie Question about Java

Posted by Saguaro on February 19, 2002 at 11:06 PM

I've started java like two weeks ago and there is a part of a program that I am stuck on, I'm supposed to make part of the program do this:
Enter the lines of text. Enter an empty line to end.
hello
i am here

number of lines:2

so far all I have is:
System.out.println("Enter the lines of text. Enter an empty line to end.");
line=SavitchIn.readLine();

Can you guys help me on what to do next? I don't know how to make the program accept multiple lines and count the number of lines made. Thanks a lot.
