let mut line = String::new(); std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut line).unwrap(); And I just looked it up and it's right there in the docs, too: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/struct.Stdin.html https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/struct.Stdin.html You basically shouldn't use `tokio::io::stdin()` for what you want, as is documented at https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/io/fn.stdin.html https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/io/fn.stdin.html > For interactive uses, it is recommended to spawn a thread dedicated to user input and use blocking IO directly in that thread. So the code under tokio would be let line = rt.spawn_blocking(|| { use std::io::stdin; let mut buffer = String::new(); stdin().read_line(&mut buffer).unwrap() }).await.unwrap();
