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);

The NSFileHandle class is an object-oriented wrapper for a file descriptor. For files, you can read, write, and seek within the file.

NSFileHandle *inputFile = [NSFileHandle fileHandleWithStandardInput];
NSData *inputData = [inputFile availableData];
NSString *word = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:inputData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
