i want to adjust the spacing entered, but...

[WuJianWei]

If you type a string:

"It's good."

there's one space between the two words.

but how can i adjust the string to two spaces or more.

"it's good."

cout<<"\n----------------------------------------------------------------"
<<"\n3. Adjust the spacing of the input string with a given number.\n"
<<"----------------------------------------------------------------\n"
<<"\n- Please enter the spacing: ";
int space=1;
cin>>space;

cin.getline(string,150,'\n');
cout<<"\n- Please enter a string of length < 70:\n";
cin.getline(string,150,'\n');

int i=0;
for( char *s = string ; *s!='\0' ; s++, i++ );

while( i>=70 )
{
cout<<"\n- The input string is too long. Please reenter a string of length < 70:\n";
cin.getline(string,150);
i=0;
for( char *s = string ; *s!='\0' ; s++, i++ );
}

static int x=0;
int z=space;
while(string[x]!='\0')
{
for(;string[x]!=' ';x++)
cout<<string[x];

for(;space>0;space--)
cout<<' ';
x++;
space=z;
}
cout<<string<<endl<<endl;

The output is always with something undesirable. Who can help me to debug?

WuJianWei-

I have merged these threads as you asked the same question. Please read our Posting Guidelines and abide by them as you agreed to when you joined this community. This includes not double-posting, and using code tags around your code.

I realize one question was asked well before the other. In cases like that, if you think we have forgotten about your code, after 24 hours, you can reply to your original post with a "bump" message, this will move it back to the top of the forum.

If you're looking to just add whitespace, I would recommend looking into strtok(). You can use it to pick apart a string at a certain delimiter, and then then use something like strcat() or strcpy() to add the desired number of spaces.
