Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I need to create a small java class that takes a string input from the user (i know how to do that) and output that same string, but formatted as such:
IE: User enters the word 'Purple'
It is output on the screen like this: 'P:Pu:Pur:Purp:Purpl:Purple'
If anybody could give me any pointers that would be great
Thanks

I think it's just a matter of time. It's coming, just wait and see. (Or he'll just vanish)
Edit: Ok, he replied after this proving me wrong (maybe). But I still believe he's basically going to go nowhere until someone codez it up for him. I just betcha.

The best way to get that is to post the code that you have, demonstrating what you've tried. That way we can go "Oh, you need to do this," or "You did this wrong, try this." Show us what you have so far.

@OP: Yes, the hints provided were good hints for what you want to do. Also, you might want to check out: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/data/strings.html

Got it
String input;
Scanner stringScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a String :");
input = stringScanner.nextLine();
int length = input.length();
for(int i=1; i<=length; i++)
{
System.out.print(input.substring(0,i) + ":");
}
works ok for me:)
