Help with java scanner

oz1314

hi i need to read a couple lines of text
for example
a2 b3 d4
b4 j5 l8
and store them

here it is what i have so far:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<String> CardList = new ArrayList();
ArrayList<String> ResultList = new ArrayList ();
String aux;

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("enter number of tests:");
int Ntests = scan.nextInt();
for(int i=0; i<Ntests;i++){
System.out.println("Enter card series");
aux = scan.next();
CardList.add(aux);
}


}

}

the problem is that when i enter "a2 b3 d4" it splits into several strings or something else happens can anyone please help me to mantain the structure and store the whole string into the arraylist thank you

aux = scan.next();

should be aux = scan.nextLine();

i have changed it to this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<String> CardList = new ArrayList();
ArrayList<String> ResultList = new ArrayList ();
String aux;
String reaux;

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter number of tests:");
int Ntest = scan.nextInt();
for(int i=0; i<Ntest;i++){
System.out.println("Enter card series:");
reaux = scan.next();
aux = scan.nextLine();
CardList.add(aux);
System.out.println("Stored element:"+CardList.get(i));
}


}

because just using nextLine() skips the line and doesn't let me enter any parameters, this seems to work better except it cuts the first part for example i type "ab dc mb" and it just stores "dc mb", help please.
