Can i use Java Scanner with String?

[guitar-maniac]

Hey!

I couldn't get this code working:
import java.util.*;

public class scan
{
public static void main (String args[])
{

String testi;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Testing Scanner, write something: ");
testi = scan.nextString();
System.out.println(testi);
}
}

Did i write something wrong or can't Scanner be used with String?

Theres nothing as nextString instead

import java.util.*;

public class scan
{
public static void main (String args[])
{

String testi;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Testing Scanner, write something: ");
testi = scan.nextString(); 
System.out.println(testi);
}
}

try this

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Testing Scanner, write something: ");
testi = scan.nextLine();
System.out.println(testi);

the command is nameofyourscanner.nextLine()

maybe you can use an IDE for example netbeans or eclipse.
The IDE suggest the commands with a short description of them.

I think the problem with the first line

import java.util.Scanner;

I think the problem with the first line

import java.util.Scanner;

no theres no problem

when you type

import java.util.Scanner;

it just specifies your importing from scanner class in the util package only.

import java.util.*;

Its more general point of view.where you can import any class from util package

So theres no error
