newbie question - reading in data

[cyberspace]

I am doing some java basic exercises and I want a program to read in my data but only accept it if it is an int, ie 555 would be accepted but "dsfdfsdf" would produce an error and then prompt again...

My programming comes mainly from web development background where ereg has been the saviour although sadly it's not so easy in Java!

Thanks

Have a look at

Integer.parseInt(String s);

in the Java Api Docs.
