The following works for me:

    Program Test;

    Var
      S: String [ 1000 ];

    begin
      while S <> " " do
        S:= " ";
    end.

However ...

Do i have to say 
  while s <> ' ' ???
... yes.  Pascal strings are in ''; GPC accepts "" as an extension.
Better use ''.

You know that ' ' (or " ") is a string that contains a space?
The empty string is '' (or "").

Hope this helps,
