Not getting whole string when string has space in java

Question

I'm still new to java, so dumb question is coming. I've been working on a simple software using JFrame, PrintWriter, File, and Scanner to create and read a text file, I save the file with the name you typed and then with the data you input into a JTextField, the problem is: As soon as you type one space it doesn't save the text after the space to the .txt file:

Input

waitFor it

   WriteToFile(textarea.getText(), name.getText());
// my function   input text         name

Output:

waitFor

But if I input the text manually this way:

   WriteToFile("waitFor it", name.getText());
// my function   input text         name

Output:

waitFor it

Which leads me to think that my function might not be causing this, but again I'm a noob.

        writer.close();

        File file = new File(name+".txt");
        try {
            @SuppressWarnings("resource")
            Scanner sc = new Scanner(file);
            output = sc.next();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

        return output;

        try {

            Scanner sc = new Scanner(file);
            output = sc.next();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

        }

        return output;
    }

}

May someone provide me an explanation on why this is?

Answer 1

Instead

output = sc.next(); 

use

output = sc.nextLine();

Reference: Scanner#next() vs Scanner#nextLine()
