I'm trying to capture keyboard input and put it into a String so I have 
a number of methods of the form:

 void getName()
    {
      System.out.print( "Enter full name : " );
      sb = new StringBuffer();
      try
      {
        while ( ( c = (char)System.in.read() ) != '\r' )
          sb.append( c );
          name = String.valueOf( sb.toString() );
      }
      catch ( IOException e )
      {
        System.out.println( "IO error" );
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    } // end getName()
    
where 'name' is a String variable defined as part of my class.
I have a number of other methods such as getAddress1(), getAddress2() 
and getAddress3().

When I look at the variables in the JBuilder debugger I'm getting the 
following:

 name     'aaaaa'
 address1 '\nkkkkkkkkk'
 address2 '\nmmmmmmmmm'
 address3 '\nggggggggg'
 
 I'd have expected '\n' to appear at the *end* of the variable. Can 
anyone explain what is happening?
 
TIA
