Question

I use this, to collect a input and display the input then, but when I do it like this the “something” text will be displayed in a new line, but I want the text to be displayed in the same line, any ideas?

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Example")
    print("example: ")
    in := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin); 
    input, err := in.ReadString('\n');
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error: ", err)
    }

    fmt.Println(input, "something")
}

fmt.Println() automatically appends a newline to the end of it’s output.

You could try using Printf, which takes a “format string” and a list of inputs.

An example would be:

func main() {
  fmt.Println("Example")
  print("example: ")
  in := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin); 
  input, err := in.ReadString('\n');
  if err != nil {
      fmt.Println("Error: ", err)
  }

  fmt.Printf("something : %s", input)
}

In this case, %s is a placeholder for a string type.
All the placeholders can be found in the fmt godoc: http://golang.org/pkg/fmt/

Also if the input itself has a newline at the end, you can use Trim from the package strings to pull off the \n character.
