Hi

this is only a part,

strip leading and trailing spaces; check for specified patterns

#define SUCCESS 1
#define FAILURE 0

// 0-for space and 1-for digit

// you can have allowable patterns in Patterns Array.

char *Patterns[]={"010", "1", "10", "01"};
char *b=" 1 23456";
char *temp;
int i, j=0, len, prev=-1;
len=strlen(b);
temp=(char*)calloc(10, sizeof(char));
for ( i=0; i<len; i++ )
{
if( b[i] != ' ' )
{
if( prev != 1 )
temp[j++]='1';
}
else
{
if( prev != 0 )
temp[j++]='0';
}
prev = ( b[i] == ' ' ) ? 0 : 1;
}
temp[j]='\0';
for ( i=0; i<=3; i++ )
{
if( strcmp(Patterns[i], temp) == 0 )
{
len=strlen(b);
for ( prev=0, j=0; j<len; j++ )
{
if ( b[j] != ' ' )
temp[prev++]=b[j];
}
temp[prev]='\0';
break;
}
}
