remove whie space from beginning and end

[waqarafridi]

Can some body know a function that removes white spaces in begining and end and also removes '\n' or '\0' from a file in C language

In C language the fgets() function will trim leading and trailing spaces from words read. It will also skip over '\n'. Text files do not contain '\0' bytes; if your file does then it is not a text file.

may be you are confused with fread().

fgets will read line by line from a file.it will read until the \n. or length spefied which comes 1st.

|       EXAMPLE

|       Output String:"i am going to school"
*************************************************************************************/


char* str_lrtrim(char *base_str)
 {
  int len=strlen(base_str);
  int i=0;

  if(base_str==NULL)
        return NULL;

  while(isspace(base_str[len-1]))
        {
          base_str[len-1]='\0';
          len--;
        }
  while(isspace(base_str[i]))base_str++;

 return base_str;
}
