is there no more complicated solution for this? ;-)

nothing for bad!

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.

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...
