Remarks

See the general contract of the readLine method of DataInput.

Bytes for this operation are read from the contained input stream.

This member is deprecated. This method does not properly convert bytes to characters. As of JDK&nbsp;1.1, the preferred way to read lines of text is via the BufferedReader.readLine() method. Programs that use the DataInputStream class to read lines can be converted to use the BufferedReader class by replacing code of the form: <blockquote><pre> DataInputStream d =&nbsp;new&nbsp;DataInputStream(in); </pre></blockquote> with: <blockquote><pre> BufferedReader d =&nbsp;new&nbsp;BufferedReader(new&nbsp;InputStreamReader(in)); </pre></blockquote>
