How do I scan a string with spaces into one variable?

[lapis crescent]

And on top of that, how would I scan two newline separated sentences into two variables?
I know this is a super beginner question but I have looked everywhere without answer.

I will use other libraries if need be, but just fmt would be preferable.

strings.Split is what ur lookin for

it's in the stdlib so also not an outside package or anything

[lapis crescent]

cool, how do I get the string in the first place?

I'm fine with seperating at newline

[robust fossil]

Oh like from the user in the terminal

[lapis crescent]

yeah

[robust fossil]

So u do like

func getname(){
  var name string
  fmt.Println("Enter your name:") 
  fmt.Scan(&name)
}

Do you know what a pointer is?

[lapis crescent]

yeah, vaguely

in this case, would the first name not just fill name?

Right now I have

var s1, s2 string
fmt.Scanf("%v\n%v",&s1,&s2)```

and it just doesn't take in the full sentence

[robust fossil]

if you just did fmt.Scan(&s1,&s2) what happens

[lapis crescent]

I don't remember, one sec

[robust fossil]

what do you mean by this? try to rephrase. I'm having trouble understanding what you mean.

[lapis crescent]

on hitting enter, the first word becomes s1, and the second s2.

[lapis crescent]

Let's say you type in "Konnhor Khliyn", name becomes "Konnhor", because it stops scanning at a space

[robust fossil]

Scanln?

[lapis crescent]

same effect

I have actually no clue how to do this

Welp, I'll figure it out later. Thanks for the help. Google is being intensely unhelpful

package main

import (
    "bufio"
    "fmt"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)

    fmt.Println("Enter your first name:")
    firstName, _ := reader.ReadString('\n')

    fmt.Println("Enter your last name:")
    lastName, _ := reader.ReadString('\n')

    fmt.Printf("Hello, %s %s!\n", firstName, lastName)
}
``` could this be it

bufio is also in std as u can see by the fact that u don't have to go get anything

also firstName and lastName still contain the newline character ('\n')

Sure, I'll check it out
