Java timer

Hi. I want to use a timer in one of my java projects and I found one online, it allows the user to type an input from the keyboard for predetermined number of seconds and it's exactly what I want but I can't find out how to store the input in a string. Please show me how. Here's the code:

import java.util.Timer; import java.util.TimerTask;

public class ToDo { Timer timer;

public ToDo ( int seconds ) { timer = new Timer ( ) ; timer.schedule ( new ToDoTask ( ) , seconds*1000 ) ; }

class ToDoTask extends TimerTask { public void run ( ) { System.out.println ( "\nOK, It's time to do something!" ) ; timer.cancel ( ) ; //Terminate the thread } }

public static void main ( String args [ ] ) { System.out.println ( "Schedule something to do in 5 seconds." ) ; new ToDo ( 5 ) ; System.out.println ( "Waiting." ) ; } }
