Using scanf with NSStrings

Question

I want the user to input a string and then assign the input to an NSString. Right now my code looks like this:

NSString *word; 

scanf(\"%s\", &word);
         


        

Answer 1

scanf does not work with any object types. If you have a C string and want to create an NSString from it, use -[NSString initWithBytes:length:encoding:].
