Creating a Program that Can Write to a File From User Input

[aaljallaf]

I need to:
Create a Program that Can Write to a File From User Input. Then After a Period of 3 Minutes- The program should display the contents of that file. After Five Minutes it should tell the user to log off.

Things I was told to look for:

user input from the command line
write to a text file

create a timer in java

read a text file and display on the screen

-Do you have any suggestions on how I should get about doing this?

Thank you

- use input reader, example (for details read java tutorials on I/O) :
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String userInput = input.readLine();

- write using a file stream, example :
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("thefile.txt"));
bos.write(userInput.getBytes());

- extends the class from Thread or implement the Runnable interface (more info, read multithreading in java tutorial). put a sleep status after writing the time.

- use a filestreamreader wrapped in buffer to read the file

- display the content of the stream

- done : )
