Thread: 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" );
