    Java Loop
AI Thread Summary
To stop user input in a Java program using Control Z, one can implement a loop that checks for specific keystrokes. The discussion highlights the need to "trap keystrokes" to detect when Control Z is pressed. Several examples and resources are available online to guide users through this process. Participants emphasize the importance of handling exceptions and ensuring the program can gracefully exit the input loop. Utilizing these techniques will allow for effective user input management in Java applications.

I am having the user enter a bunch of strings and when the user wants to stop entering them I want him to use control z to stop the input. The only problem is I can't seem to figure how to make that happen, does anyone have any suggestions?
