Xcode 6, Swift - reading standard input (console) into a string

Question

I'm new to Objective-C and Xcode, and I'm trying to learn something new. Is there a way to read a string from stdin using swift? Something like cin in C ++?

Answer 1

As with Objective-C, you can use NSFileHandle :

 let standardInput = NSFileHandle.fileHandleWithStandardInput() let input = standardInput.availableData
