Hi again guys i have a strange problem. i'm reading from a file character by character and i'm pushing the characters into a queue like this do{ c = getc (pFile); plainText.push(c); } while (c != EOF); so far so good then i copy the content of the queue into a string but i try to remove all unessesary spaces string text; while (!PlainText.empty()) { if (PlainText.front()!=' ') { Plain_Text+=PlainText.front(); PlainText.pop(); } else if(PlainText.front()==' ') { while(PlainText.front()==' ' && !PlainText.empty() ) { PlainText.pop(); } Plain_Text+=" "; } } I'm not sure if i made my self clear so i'll give you an example. lets say i have this writen in a file This is writen in a text file but with more than one spaces in between the words i want to copy the contents of this file into the string but in this form This is writen in a text file but with more than one spaces in between the words My code doesn't make any changes it lives all the spaces as they where any ideas pls help Thanks a lot -- modified at 6:13 Sunday 11th June, 2006

Do you want to convert a multiline string into a single line one. Although you talk about removing extra spaces but from the example it seems you want to remove newline ('\n') character. -Saurabh
