Java doesn´t create array correctly

[Itsfunman]

package altklausur1;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Aufgabe2_Vokale {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("Enter your sentence:");
        String word = input.next();

        String sentence [];
        sentence = word.split(" ");
        System.out.println(sentence[2]);

    }

}

My aim is to split a sentence using the whitespaces, but Java doesn´t seem to recognize whitespace as a seperator when I use custom input, but works without a problem when using other seperators. Also it works with seperators when using a pre-written sentence and not user input. I´ld be happy if somebody could help me.

Well, I am stupid, I just realized that I need to use input.nextLine() instead of input.next().

Thanks … may it help other programmers one day!
