hey im riting a program to remove the un needed formatting from a c file.

im having a little trouble removing the spaces after the lines have finished.

Eg
CODE

printf("...");
scanf("%d",&hi);


would be
CODE

printf("...");                              scanf("%d",&hi);

i have tryed using
CODE

if(ch=='\t')
ch=' ';


but it didnt work so i assume these are just spaces and not tabs so i tryed
CODE

if((ch=fgetc(input))==' ')//if char == space
{
     ch=fgetc(input);//get the next char
     while(ch==' ')
          ch=fgetc(input);//get a char thats not a space
}
fputc(' ',output);
fputc(ch,output);


but it dosnt work , can anyone suggest a method of gettin rid of those nasty spaces?

Try making your code remove a spce if it's proceeded by another.
