Space for charAt()?

[Tussmann]

greetings, im new to Java, and is programming in Dr.Java.
Im making a program that reads a string, and has a line shift everything the character "|" appears in the string. But I can't seem to get past the basic problem, og a simple space..
For eksample, if i type "A new day|its nice!", the program should print it as:
"A new day
its nice!"

instead, my program prints : "A", and thats it.. it stops when a space occurs..

The program is:

import java.util.Scanner;
class oppgave13 {
public static void main (String [] args) {
Scanner tastatur = new Scanner(System.in);

char tegn;
String setning = tastatur.next();
for (int i = 0; i < setning.length(); i++) {
tegn = setning.charAt(i);
if (tegn == '|') {
System.out.println(); }
if (tegn == ' ') {
System.out.print(" "); }
else {
System.out.print(tegn); }
}
}
}


Im pretty sure that this is the wrong one, but I can't seem to find a way to get the program to ignore the space and just keep on going with the other characters.. Any tips, oh great java gods?

And by this, I mean this:
if (tegn == ' ') {
System.out.print(" "); }

why do you bother checking if its a space?
Why not just

if (tegn == '|') {
    System.out.println(); 
} else { 
    System.out.print(tegn);
}

regardless, please surround your blocks with [ code] tags
it makes it easier to read :)

In answer to your actual question, you need to look at the docs for the Scanner class.
Scanner (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0)

If you look at the method next(), it returns the next token. By default, tokens are separated by white space, which will include spaces.
You should probably use the nextline() method

Ah, sorry about that, new to the place ;) Will remember to do that next time ;)

As for the nextLine(), that did the trick. Thanks man ;) Read through a couple of the scanner class methods, and I see where I went wrong ;)
Again, thanks.
