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:].

Answer 2

Maybe this will work for you because it accepts string with spaces as well.

 NSLog(@"Enter The Name Of State");
 char name[20];
 gets(name);
 NSLog(@"%s",name);
