How to clear an InputStream ?

Question

Java

Help people. The fact is that in my loop, every 3 minutes, InputStream.read() checks the incoming data and writes them to the database, how do I clear the stream after each reading so as not to write the same thing to the database?

Answer 2

Clear stream?
What would that mean?
Can I ask you in more detail what kind of stream are you using?
For it is impossible to simply take and "clean" any InputStream.
And yes, are you sure that you need to "clean" the stream?
Perhaps you just need to change your approach to reading from the stream?
