Thread: Hello

Hello,

Im trying to find the position of all the spaces from within a value I stored in a string with a Scanner. Ive been at it two days and I dont seem to be getting anywhere with various indexOf 's Ive tried. I was thinking if i cant store a space then maybe I would split the sting at the space and search the first char after the split.

This is what I'm at so far.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Initials
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner myKeyboard = new Scanner(System.in); // Initializing new Scanner
System.out.println("Please enter full name: ");
String fullName = myKeyboard.next(); // Statement to store value inputed from keyboard

System.out.println("" + fullName);
int lastnamestart = firstName.indexOf(' ');


String title = "hello my name is Warren"

If someone could point me in the right direction I can figure out the finer details

Cheers

I very much doubt it was any of my class mates as none of them are this far into the task sheet. What we were tasked to do was to take a full name like Alan Kane Sablo and convert it to a acronym. After many hours going through the API and "java in a nutshell" I think I have cracked it. Its only displaying the first initial but another hour or so and a cup of tea or two and I will have it up and running. Thank you for taking the time to reply though especially as the first post I up was very here and there.This was the approach I have taken anyway.

impot.java.util.Scanner;

public class Initials
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner myKeyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter full name(First Second Surname): ");
String fullName = myKeyboard.next();


String[] newWord = fullName.split(" ");

String acronym =
Character.toString(newWord[0].charAt(0)).toUpperCase() +
Character.toString(newWord[1].charAt(0)).toUpperCase() +
Character.toString(newWord[2].charAt(0)).toUpperCase();

System.out.println("Original words were: " +
fullName + "Three letter acronym is " + acronym);
}
}

I did it ,cheers for your help matey. As im sure you already knew i was trying to fix the wrong piece of code changed .next() to nextLine() and hey presto all three parts of the acronym had appeared.
