    Hello guys
    I want to reverse some text and delete the spaces if the spaces are more than one

    i mean this :
    hello world ---> hello world
    4 spaces ---> 1 space

    Code:
    void reversed(char str[]);
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        char str[100];
        printf("enter text : ");
        gets(str);
      reversed(str);
        return 0;
    }
    void reversed(char str[])
    {
         int i;
         for (i = strlen(str) - 1; i>=0; i--)
         printf("%c",str[i]);
         printf("\n");
      system("PAUSE");    
      return 0;
    }
    
    this code was fore reverse

    Code:
    int main()
    {
       char text[100], blank[100];
       int c = 0, d = 0;
      
       printf("Enter some text\n");
       gets(text);
      
       while (text[c] != '\0')
       {
          if (!(text[c] == ' ' && text[c+1] == ' ')) {
            blank[d] = text[c];
            d++;
          }
          c++;
       }
      
       blank[d] = '\0';
      
       printf("Text after removing blanks\n%s\n", blank);
     system("PAUSE");
       return 0;
    }
    
    and thi code was fore deleting spaces

    but i want to reverse and delete spaces at the same time,can anyone give me a solution ?
    i want these two codes in one
    thanks a lot

    Nice job with trying it out. :)

    beware when using gets; that function doesn't check that input will fit within your array and will gladly overflow if allowed to.

    Since you're using a temp array as well, add another argument to your function

    Code:
    void myfunction(char *src, char *des) {
    
       /* reverse a string and remove extra spaces */
    
       int i = strlen(src) - 1, j = 0, spc = 0;
    
       while(i >= 0) {
          if(spc == 0 && src[i] == ' ') // is src[i] a space ??
             spc = 1; // it's a space, so set flag         
          else {
             while(src[i] == ' ') // loop while src[i] is extra spaces
                --i; 
              spc = 0; // reset space flag
          }
    
          des[j] = src[i]; 
          --i;
          ++j;
       }
    
       des[j] = '\0'; // add string termination char
    }
    to test with, from main

    Code:
    char source[] = "string       with        extra      spaces",
         dest[50] = { 0 };
    
    myfunction(source, dest);
    puts(source);
    puts(dest);
    make sure the destination string is big enough and is initialized to get rid of any junk chars.

    hope that helps.
