_I'm struggling to see where we take the user input for the task name._
the `command` variable will have `exit` or whatever, right?
and the `new <task>` will actually look like `new Buy Milk`
so take the string and split it into a list of strings, breaking each string on the <space> character.
```python
txt = "welcome to the jungle"
x = txt.split()
print(x)
# ['welcome', 'to', 'the', 'jungle']
```
BUT Ulas says
```python
txt = "new Buy Milk"
t = txt.split()
print(t)
command = t[0]
rest = t[1:]
rest = " ".join(rest)
print(command, ' - ', rest)
```
and maybe the right thing to do is to change the `command = input("Tasty> ")` to something like
`command, rest = tasty.prompt_user("Tasty> ")`
then all the "words" after the "new" will be what you pull together to name the task?
so `prompt-user(self, prompt)` becomes a method which asks for the user's input
(using input(prompt))
```python
def prompt_user(self, prompt):
inp = input(prompt)
# lookup how to split words into words[]
```
## saving? a Hint
```python
with open("saved_data.json", "w") as fp:
json.dump(self.tasks,fp)
```
