how to enter a string value

hi,


I want to know just enter a string value

entering a numeric value is make with the function scan () or scan (nmax =
..)

but it does not work for string

my goal is to enter three string: name and surname and date of birth

I try with this code but it shows me errors


print ("enter the name")
name <- scan (nmax = 1)
print ("enter the first name")
firstName <- scan (nmax = 1)
print ("enter the date of birth")
BirthDate <- scan (nmax = 1)




best regards

alen
