Those pesky command lines...

Hello,

Just a quick question. A program I've made doesn't take kindly to long filenames when passed to it by Explorer (The little tyke loves sellotaping it all together with speech marks yet MS decided CreateFile shouldn't parse them out :rolleyes: ). Is there a simple way of fixing the string?

So you have a string like ' "file with long filename.txt" ' and you want it to become 'file with long filename.txt'? Try this:

Code:

---

char * RemoveQuotes(char *lpString)
{
    lpString++;
    lpString[lstrlen(lpString)-1]=0;
    return lpString;
}

---

Approximate, and likely will cause a memory leak, or access violation now that I think about it. Hmmm.

Code:

---

void RemoveQuotes(char *lpString)
{
    int size=lstrlen(lpString);

  for (int i=0;i<size;i++)
  {
      lpString[i]=lpString[i+1];
  }
  lpString[size-2]=0;
}

---

That should work fine I think.
