    Welcome to the forum

    Well what most people do is to post their attempt (usually a non-working one) and then everybody is trying to help

    Also learn that it is critical for the time and the chances you have to get a quick and exact (and of course correct) answer is heavily depended on how you ask the question.You say "..from stdin into s until.."
    Well,now i have to guess.You might want to say to append to the end of string.But why should i guess?Wouldn't it be nice to give a simple example just to make sure that even people like me would totally understand? In this way you avoid the case of bad guessing which leads to un-needed post and wasted time

    I don't think I have enough information. If I enter "Thursday" does it stop? The way you've posed the problem is deliberately confusing.
