can someone help me write a java program that reads the inputted text and checks to see if any uppercase letters where used.

If you are trying to read input from the command line, check out the Scanner class in the Javadoc. If you want a GUI, look up JOptionPane. In either case, when you get a string of input from the user, you can check in a loop whether each character in the string is upper case using Character.isUpperCase.
