[C] Help with conversion

[zero2]

The problem I'm trying to solve, involves writing a function named convertToBinaryVersionA that will allow a user to enter a string, and convert the string to a binary string.

So for instance, my ouput would look like the following:

Enter a string: 010011001

010011001 is convertible!

or

Enter a string: ^^^^010011001

010011001 is convertible!

^= denotes a user hitting the spacebar
or

Enter a string: 010011001^^^^

010011001 is convertible!

^= denotes a user hitting the spacebar

Enter a string: abc01010

abc01010 is not convertible!

So far, this what I have, I haven't actually worked out how to ignore spaces before or after a string. Can anyone give me a hint on what I should do?

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

void convertToBinaryVersionA();

int main(void)
{
	convertToBinaryVersionA();
		return 0;
}

void convertToBinaryVersionA()
{
	char *cPtr;
	int iSize;
	int i;
	char *cBinary;
	int j = 0;
	int iCount;
	
	printf("Enter an estimate of size of string: ");
	scanf("%d", &iSize);
	
	getchar();
	cPtr =  (char *) malloc (iSize * sizeof(char));
	printf("Enter input string: ");
	gets(cPtr);
	
	cBinary = (char *) malloc (iSize * sizeof(char));
	
	for (i = 0; i < iSize; i++)
		{
			if( * (cPtr + 0) == 'q' || * (cPtr + 0) == 'Q')
				{
					printf("Thank You!\n");
				}
			else if ( * (cPtr + i) == '0' || * (cPtr + i) == '1' )
				{
					cBinary[j] = cPtr[i];
					j++;
					iCount = 0;
				}
			else
				{
					iCount = 1;
					
				}
		}
		if ( iCount == 0 )
		{
			printf("The converted string is: %s", cBinary);
		}
		else
		{
			printf("The inputed string is not convertible!\n");
		}
	
	return;
}

trim! i don't remember the syntax but the function trim will remove leading and trailing spaces for you.

I've never heard of trim before, but it sounds like its exactly what I need.

pure C does not have a trim function. You just need another else if conditional to handle the space. Currently you're program thinks its an invalid character.
