Hi everybody,

I had a program in mind that would ask a series of questions such as:

What is your name?

What is your favorite food?

Etc.....

I would then like insert their responses into an existing story for Example,

Lets say the the person typed in John, then for favorite food they typed in Pizza.

After they press Enter, I would like to display.

"John went to the beach, and ate Pizza on the bench."


Which function will automatically insert the User's response into the underlined areas of the story?

"________went to the beach, and at __________ on the bench."

Appreciate every bit of advice, Thank you!

You might be interested by the thread Creating a timer where I show two techniques to format such message.
The first one uses Java's MessageFormat, which is flexible, as you can change the order of parameters (useful for generic messages needing to be translated to a language using a different order) and indicate their formating.
The second one is the classical string concatenation, less suited to your need, I think.
There are alternatives, like Formatter.
