    Default Having trouble with strings

    Ok here is what I'm using to get user input to get a whole sentence including the spaces between the words:

    sentence = input.next();

    However instead of storing the entire sentence it only stores the first word.

    How can I store the whole sentence in a string?

    I take it the input variable is a Scanner ?

    input.useDelimiter("\n");

    That might work

    // Json
