Scanner.next() problems!

[ngc0202]

I am writing a code that requires multi-word input. Here's the code I used:

while (true) {
      out.print("> ");
      userInput = keyboard.next();
 }

When the user inputs multiple words, however, it gets all funny:

> oneword
> two word
> >

Is there any way to fix the above problem?

You're having trouble dealing with the end of line token and as such, you may do better getting nextLine() rather than next().

Nice, thank you, I knew it would be an easy fix :)

If you want to read the words one at a time, use next(). Using next() allows the user to pre-answer questions by typing them all on one line. next() will read them one at a time.

If you want to read all the words and the newline char at the end, use nextLine()
