* EasyReader provides simple methods for reading the console and
* for opening and reading text files. All exceptions are handled
* inside the class and are hidden from the user.
*
*
* Example:
* =======
*
* EasyReader console = new EasyReader();
* System.out.print("Enter input file name: ");
* String fileName = console.readLine();
*
* EasyReader inFile = new EasyReader(fileName);
* if (inFile.bad())
* {
* System.err.println("Can't open " + fileName);
* System.exit(1);
* }
*
* String firstLine = inFile.readLine();
* if (!inFile.eof()) // or: if (firstLine != null)
* System.out.println("The first line is : " + firstLine);
*
* System.out.print("Enter the maximum number of integers to read: ");
* int maxCount = console.readInt();
* int k, count = 0;
*
* while (count < maxCount && !inFile.eof())
* {
* k = inFile.readInt();
* if (!inFile.eof())
* {
* // process or store this number
* count++;
* }
* }
*
* inFile.close(); // optional
* System.out.println(count + " numbers read");
