RE: [PHP-WIN] Something like trim()

Something like (not tested and compiled - please find the bugs :)) will remove white space dups: char *TrimInString(char *pzWashMe) { if (!pzWashMe) return NULL; register char *pzMarker = pzWashMe; bool bStillTrimingString = false; while (StrReplacee("\t", " ", pzMarkerrReplacee("\n", " ", pzMarker)) ;; while (*pzMarker) { // loop 1 bool bStillTrimingString = false; while (*pzMarker && !isspace(*(pzMarker++)) // loop 2 ;; register int nIndex = 0; while (isspace(*(pzMarker+nIndex++)) { // loop 3 bStillTrimingString = true; } if (nIndex) { strcpy(pzMarker, (pzMarker + nIndex)); } } return pzMarker; } First it replace tabs and newlines with blank spaces, then the function will scann the string after a whitespace (loop 2). If it finds one. Then it will try to justify the hypothese H that this white space is followed by another white space (loop 3). If H is true it will count the number of whitepace, and then move the moving down data to just leave the first white space left. After that it falls into loop 1 again and check if we reach the end of the string or not, if not, we do all the things once again. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bobo Wieland [mailto:dev@elstudion.com] > Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 8:26 AM > To: php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-WIN] Something like trim() > > > Is there an easy way to get rid off white space characters in a string?
