Hi All,

Im attempting to make a simple java menu system. the psueo code is as follows

1. user is presented with menu
2. selection is made
3. that action is ran, i.e make a new user (i have this code seperate, which works)
4. the user is returned to the main menu.

what is actually happening is it keeps ending. I tried using a do while, but i cant seem to get my head around it.

whiteyoh, look at static int ConsoleOptionGUI(String s) method http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread231390.html
Yet you will not always write all the code in the main method.

Hi,

Handy link!

I have managed to get it working by using an "if" inside the do.

Ive also split down the code to sub classes.
