import java.io.*;                                                               
                                                                                
class ReadingConsoleInputTest {                                                 
 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{                     
  char ch;        
  //Creates Character input stream.                                                              
  BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));     
  System.out.println("Enter characters, char 'x' to exit.");                    
  //read characters in console input                                            
  do {                                                                          
   ch = (char) br.read();                                                       
   System.out.println(ch);                                                      
  } while(ch != 'x');
