Help ignoring spaces.

i have writen a program which basically does a form of SSC. it loads two arrays and then prints them.

then takes a user input and changes the a's to d's (just an example), but i want to make it ignore the spaces a user may enter and just push the letter together.

so if a user enters "AND THE", i want the out put to be "ANDTHE", but at the mo im just getting "AND", really struglling with it. ive tryed a few things but with no sucsses.

Also just a little thing. does anyone no how to allow a user to enter a file name. then a file ive already writen to be put into to it and then writen.

Thanks everyone, any help welcome, heres my code.

Code:

#include <stdio.h> #include <ctype.h> #include <string.h> #define MAX_BUF 27 void main () { FILE *file = fopen( "key.txt", "r" ); char input[25]; //input char array[25]; //cypher text char i; char alp[25]; //alphabet printf("This program will take Capital letters only and code them\n"); if ( file == 0 ) { printf( "Could not open file\n" ); } else { int x; int num = 0; while ( ( x = fgetc( file ) ) != EOF ) { if( num < (MAX_BUF-1) ) { array[num++] = x; } } array[26] = '\0'; printf("Cypher Text: \n%s", array ); printf("\n"); } FILE *fp = fopen( "alpha.txt", "r" ); if ( fp == 0 ) { printf( "Could not open file\n" ); } else { int x; int num = 0; while ( ( x = fgetc( fp ) ) != EOF ) { if( num < (MAX_BUF-1) ) { alp[num++] = x; } } alp[26] = '\0'; printf("Alphabet: \n%s", alp); printf("\n"); } printf("\nPlease enter a line of text to be coded: "); scanf("%s",&input); printf("\n"); for (i = 0; i < strlen(input);++i) { input[i] = toupper (input[i]); } printf("Your text in upper case:%s\n",input); // MAKE A TEXT THAT SAYS ALL OTHER SYMBOLS WILL BE REMOVED IN "THE NAME A USER ENTERED" for (i = 0; i < strlen(input);++i){ if (input[i] == alp[0]) input[i] = array[0]; else if(input[i] == alp[1]) input[i] = array[1]; else if(input[i] == alp[2]) input[i] = array[2]; else if(input[i] == alp[3]) input[i] = array[3]; else if(input[i] == alp[4]) input[i] = array[4]; else if(input[i] == alp[5]) input[i] = array[5]; else if(input[i] == alp[6]) input[i] = array[6]; else if(input[i] == alp[7]) input[i] = array[7]; else if (input[i] == alp[8]) input[i] = array[8]; else if (input[i] == alp[9]) input[i] = array[9]; else if (input[i] == alp[10]) input[i] = array[10]; else if (input[i] == alp[11]) input[i] = array[11]; else if (input[i] == alp[12]) input[i] = array[12]; else if (input[i] == alp[13]) input[i] = array[13]; else if (input[i] == alp[14]) input[i] = array[14]; else if (input[i] == alp[15]) input[i] = array[15]; else if (input[i] == alp[16]) input[i] = array[16]; else if (input[i] == alp[17]) input[i] = array[17]; else if (input[i] == alp[18]) input[i] = array[18]; else if (input[i] == alp[19]) input[i] = array[19]; else if (input[i] == alp[20]) input[i] = array[20]; else if (input[i] == alp[21]) input[i] = array[21]; else if (input[i] == alp[22]) input[i] = array[22]; else if (input[i] == alp[23]) input[i] = array[23]; else if (input[i] == alp[24]) input[i] = array[24]; else if (input[i] == alp[25]) input[i] = array[25]; else if (90 >input[i] < 65) input[i] = ' '; input[i] = input[+i]; } input[26] = '\0'; FILE *out; out = fopen("out.txt","w"); fprintf(out,"%s",input); //putting coded text in to out.txt fclose( file ); }
