while loop in the
code fragment at the bottom of the page is missing a closing }.
It should be
try {
byte[] b = new byte[100];
int offset = 0;
while (offset < b.length) {
int a = System.in.available();
int bytesRead = System.in.read(b, offset, a);
if (bytesRead == -1) break; // end of stream
offset += bytesRead;
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Couldn't read from System.in!");
}
in.strip should of course be in.skip.
p. 43, 44: Delete the last paragraph on p. 44. It's incorrect.
Also delete the comment in the copy() method on p. 43. You may also want
to remove the synchronization from the copy() method like this:
public static void copy(InputStream in, OutputStream out)
throws IOException {
byte[] buffer = new byte[256];
while (true) {
int bytesRead = in.read(buffer);
if (bytesRead == -1) break;
out.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
}
