How to read from standard input in the console?

Question

I would like to read standard input from the command line, but my attempts have ended with the program exiting before I\'m prompted for input. I\'m looking for the equivalen

Answer 1

Can also be done like this:-

package main
import "fmt"     

func main(){
    var myname string
fmt.Scanf("%s", &myname)           
fmt.Println("Hello", myname)       
}

Answer 2

Another way to read multiple inputs within a loop which can handle an input with spaces:

package main
import (
    "fmt"
    "bufio"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
    var text string
    for text != "q" {  // break the loop if text == "q"
        fmt.Print("Enter your text: ")
        scanner.Scan()
        text = scanner.Text()
        if text != "q" {
            fmt.Println("Your text was: ", text)
        }
    }
}

Output:

Enter your text: Hello world!
Your text was:  Hello world!
Enter your text: Go is awesome!
Your text was:  Go is awesome!
Enter your text: q

Answer 3

Try this code:-

var input string
func main() {
      fmt.Print("Enter Your Name=")
      fmt.Scanf("%s",&input)
      fmt.Println("Hello "+input)
      }

Answer 4

In my case, program was not waiting because I was using watcher command to auto run the program. Manually running the program go run main.go resulted in "Enter text" and eventually printing to console.

fmt.Print("Enter text: ")
var input string
fmt.Scanln(&input)
fmt.Print(input)

Answer 5

I'm not sure what's wrong with the block

reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
fmt.Print("Enter text: ")
text, _ := reader.ReadString('\n')
fmt.Println(text)

As it works on my machine. However, for the next block you need a pointer to the variables you're assigning the input to. Try replacing fmt.Scanln(text2) with fmt.Scanln(&text2). Don't use Sscanln, because it parses a string already in memory instead of from stdin. If you want to do something like what you were trying to do, replace it with fmt.Scanf("%s", &ln)

If this still doesn't work, your culprit might be some weird system settings or a buggy IDE.
