removing BLANK spaces

[Bashment]

I have to write a program that remove blank spaces from a paragraph. How do I go about doing that?

the easiest way to do it would be to read the text into a buffer, make a buffer of the same size and copy the text to it a character at a time. The other easy approach is to travers the string and when a space is hit move the next character to it. when two spaces have been hit, move the next character 2 spaces back.

"hello my name is joe"

m & y move back a single space
n a m & e move back 2
i & s move back 3
etc...

The last easy approach i can think of is by using a combination of strstr & strcat to modify the buffer.

Hi Friend,

Here is the sample code. You can modify it to read the whole paragraph. It's very simple. Try this and let me know.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void RemoveSpace(char *ptr);

main()
{
char array[] = &quot;My name is Mahesh Rathi&quot;;
RemoveSpace(array);
printf(&quot;String = %s\n&quot;,array);
}

void RemoveSpace(char *ptr)
{
char *tempptr = ptr;
while(*ptr)
{
if(*ptr != ' ')
{
*tempptr = *ptr;
tempptr++;
}
ptr++;
}
*tempptr=0;
}
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

regards,
Mahesh
