Java Take String input from console

Question

I was trying to take string input in java. My input should be like this

3
1,1,[email protected],123 Sesame St.,New York,NY,10011,12345689010
1,2,[email protected],123 Sesame St.,New York,NY,10011,12345689010
1,3,[email protected],123 Sesame St.,New York,NY,10011,12345689010

So, I tried this

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
 int TotalNumber = in.nextInt();
 String[] Data = new String[TotalNumber];
 for (int Counter = 0; Counter < TotalNumber; Counter++) {
 Data[Counter] = in.next();
 }
 in.close();
 for (int counter = 0; counter < Data.length; counter++) {
 System.out.println(Data[counter]);
 }

My output is showing this

1,1,[email protected],123
Sesame
St.,New

What is my problem ? How take input string line properly ?

Update

I found my solution at here Scanner issue when using nextLine after nextXXX

Answer 1

next() breaks at a whitespace. Instead, you should use nextLine() to input the entire line to your string:

int TotalNumber = in.nextInt();
String[] Data = new String[TotalNumber];
for (int Counter = 0; Counter < TotalNumber; Counter++) {
 Data[Counter] = in.nextLine();
}

• Kona Ahmed: I tried with nextLine() 3 1,1,[email protected],123 Sesame St.,New York,NY,10011,12345689010 1,1,[email protected],123 Sesame St.,New York,NY,10011,12345689010 it only take 2 inputs from me
• JavaTechnical: could you explain what happened? I mean the output.
• Kona Ahmed: First I gave 3(It should take 3 lines of string right ?) then hit entered first line then again hit enter and the second line then I hit enter and only two lines are showing. But, It should be take 3 lines and show 3 lines
• JavaTechnical: I think an enter was pressed accidentally? Are you seeing the same output always.

Answer 2

Try with Data[Counter] = in.nextLine();

Answer 3

What about:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.lang.String;
public class Test
{
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
 char[] sArray;
 Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
 System.out.print("Enter a Palindrome : ");
 String s = scan.nextLine();
 s = s.replaceAll("\\s+", "");
 sArray = new char[s.length()];
 for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++)
 {
 sArray[i] = s.charAt(i);
 System.out.print(sArray[i]);
 }
 }
}

Answer 4

Try this (Mureinik modified code)..

int TotalNumber = in.nextInt();
in.nextLine();
String[] Data = new String[TotalNumber];
for (int Counter = 0; Counter < TotalNumber; Counter++) {
 Data[Counter] = in.nextLine();
}

You need a nextLine() after taking the int because you will press enter after taking int and that enter is read by nextLine() in the Data[0].
