Possible to capture what user has typed before <CR> hit?

Dear all,

Is it possible to get what user has typed in before he hit
carriage return?

Thkx.

Never tried this before but, if i was to.. i`d start with implementing the
java.awt.event.KeyListener class in the top level object eg :-
class MyKeyTest extends JFrame implements java.awt.event.KeyListener{
public MyKeyTest(){
super();
}
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){}
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){}
}

no idea if this will do what you are trying to achieve, but must be a good
place to start
if not maybe try extending the Object thats receiving the key strokes and
implementing KeyListener in that.

not with Windows and simple console I/O. You need to trap keystrokes
with a GUI component.

see http://mindprod.com/products.html#KEYPLAY to give you a hint of
the madness involved.
