Re: Something like trim()

is there no more complicated solution for this? ;-) nothing for bad! B.A.T. Svensson wrote:

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))

    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.

Like trim() but for the whole string and leaving single white spaces as they are

but removing all occurences of '\t','\n' and '     '(leaving a single '

')... I've tried the manual but couldn't find anything... . bobo . www.elstudion.com . www.elstudion.com/bobo . -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
