Tic Tac Toe Help

I'm writing a tic tac toe program that works in general.... however i need to make it so that the users cannot re-use numbers (the board is labeled one through nine) i tried using an array but it just wasn't working out. any suggestions or help?

- the board 1-9 is in a character array so i can make the spaces with an X or an O

One way would be to have an array of nine chars. Valid values are 'X', 'O' and ' ' (blank). When the user tells you which square he wants, you check the corresponding position in the array. If it's not blank, he can't go there.

i've used an array for TicTacToe before. can you maybe post the part of the code that's bothering you?
