Thread: wanna to kill something

i need help!! i need a function that takes a string as a paramter
eg
"\n\nThis is a \t\ttest"

and turns it into this:

"This is a test"

this is beyond me at the moment and it just won't work can anyone help?

Here is a function that will do what you need.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

void RemoveWhiteSpace(char *p);

int main(void)
{
	char str[51];

	strcpy(str, "Remove\t\tall  white space\n and new lines\t\n");
	RemoveWhiteSpace(str);
	printf("(%s)\n", str);

	strcpy(str, " \t\n");
	RemoveWhiteSpace(str);
	printf("(%s)\n", str);

	strcpy(str, "");
	RemoveWhiteSpace(str);
	printf("(%s)\n", str);

	return 0;
}

void RemoveWhiteSpace(char *p)
{
   char *t;

   while (*p)
   {
        // modify this line to include other characters to remove
        if (*p == '\t' || *p == '\n')
        {
            t = p;	// use temp pointer to skip over all selected characters

            while (*t)
            {
                   *t = *(t + 1);
                    t++;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            p++;
        }
    }
}
