Hi,

//I am initializinng the URL object
URL addr = new URL("http://sfbay.craigslist.org/rid/");

//Opening a bufferedinputstream object
BufferedInputStream bin = new BufferedInputStream(addr.openStream());

//Initialize a Stringbuffer
StringBuffer bfr = new StringBuffer();

//Declare a byte array
byte[] b = new byte[1024];

???????? I dont understand what these following two lines do
for (int n; (n = bin.read(b)) != -1;) {
bfr.append(new String(b, 0, n));

//This returns the string value the StringBuffer
bfr.toString()

Can someone explain this.

Thanks,
pandu

It judges if the StringBuffer bfr is not empty,it'll read data from URL and append it to the StringBuffer.

Hey, Thanks, I understood that, my question is
why is
byte[] b = new byte[1024];

because byte[] b = new byte[1]; was also working ,

and what does this do new String(b, 0, n)

Thanks,
pandu
