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.
