Groovy Console read input

Question

I\'m just starting to learn Groovy and I am experimenting in GroovyConsole.

Is there a way I can read user input? I have tried the code below but I get an error.

Answer 1

Your code works.

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in))
print "Input:"
def userInput = br.readLine()
println "You entered: $userInput"

Assuming you're on windows, the only problem is that the input is being read from the console in the background that is launched before groovyconsole.
