    char c[10];
    int i = 0, int max;

    while ((c[i] = getc(stdin)) != '\n')
    {
    if (c[i] == ' \ \')
    QUOTE]there should be two \ inside the apostrophes '\\' [/QUOTE]
    continue;
    else
    i++;
    }
    max = i;
    i = 0;

    while (i<max)
    {
    printf("%c", c[i]);
    i++;
    }[

    Thumbs up

    if (c[i] == ' \ ')
    I guess it should be '\\' rather than '\'....

    so the statement becomes...
    if(c[i]=='\\')

    That's correct. The difference between "\" and '\' is that '\' is a character and "\" is a null-terminated string.
