I think the problem lies with your while loop
you should do something like this
while(*p != 20){ //do your stuff here}
You need to dereference the pointer (note the * before p). What you were doing was checking the address of the pointer, not the value that the pointer pointed to.
Oh yeah, 20 is the ASCII code for a space. I think thats what you need.
That should solve your problem

==========================================In a team, you either lead, follow or GET OUT OF THE WAY.
char string[80], *p;
int count;
p = string;
printf (" Please enter a string... ");
gets(p);
while(p != " ")
{
printf ("%c", p);
p++;
}
Mainly the while loop, how would i stop the loop when a space character is found? I thought that''d work but it doesnt
