is there no more complicated solution for this? ;-)
nothing for bad!

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.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Something like trim()
Is there an easy way to get rid off white space characters in a string? 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...
