I ran your code with the sample input and didn't get any output.

I am not sure how that website works, but if you copy the code into a compiler like eclipse for example and run it, it will take input from the console and output.

I ran it with some inputs with more than one case and it's not giving all the outputs:

The reason for that is because your input does not include a trailing new line. You need that in order to see if you are done with the input or typing a new line. Since we don't know how many lines there are for each input, I wait for the user to send a blank new line before terminating. Without that how else would you know? I wish it included the number of lines for each test case in it, that would simplify things. The input you tried didn't include that. The runtime error the website says is due to the system.exit I believe, because it still produces the proper output. Thanks

Edit: One of the things I just noticed was that I was trimming the input lines so I was losing leading spaces in the output. Even after fixing that I am still getting WA, hmm.

The problem description does not say that there will be an extra blank line at the end of the input. Check for end of file.

I didn't have trouble with that in previous problems, also I am following what they did here.

What character should I be looking for, for EOF? I tired '\0', that didn't work. I just need to know when the last line is finished so I can process right there without waiting for a carriage return.

ReadLn will return null at end of file.
