How t use fmt.Scan or fmt.Scanln correct

[Tobias Matt]

I tried this little program:

package main

import(
"fmt"
)

func main() {
var input string
fmt.Print("Some input please: ")
_, err := fmt.Scanln(&input)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error: ", err)
}

fmt.Println("There's the Output:", input)
}

And it work, if I only give one word as input. But if I insert more
than one word, it returns only the first word and it ocours an error.

How to solve this Problem?

This is how it's supposed to work. From the fmt documentation, with
added emphasis:

"Scan scans text read from standard input, storing *successive
space-separated values* into successive arguments."

If you want to read in an entire line, try bufio.Reader's ReadLine.

Thanks. That's what I searched.
