I have an array, and I malloc'd memory for it already, how do I set all the slots to spaces?

Code:

char **array;

array = (char **) malloc blabla
for(i = 0;loop){
array[i] = (char *) malloc again..
//HERE// array[i] = {ALL SPACES??}
}

Code:

memset(memory, ' ', size)

will fill size bytes of whatever is pointed to by memory with ' ', which is space.
