I bet there are already many awnsers to your question on G-O-O-G-L-E — Lukas A, Apr 12 '17 at 07:24
Yes you are printing `"String: " + s`, so it prints the string `String: ` + the input. If you only want the input, then just do `System.out.println(s);`. — Ivar, Apr 12 '17 at 07:27
I also tried with scan.next(); but it is given the output only String: Welcome — Raj, Apr 12 '17 at 07:31

Use this code

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Enter the String");
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        String input = scan.next();
        System.out.println("Output String = " + input);


    }
}
