Remvoing control M character from string

amitabhm · 05-29-2008, 06:22 PM

I get some string from windows program, which are passed on to my C library running on Linux. This library parses this messege and shows the output in a web browser.
Now there are many control M characters coming with the string.
How do I write a C program or function (for the library), which will remove any control M character from the string before passing it for next operation.

Thanks in Advance,
Amitabh.

Just to add some choices... There is info here on using perl or sed to do this. You can also do it interactively in vim

I haven't tested this, but try:

Code:

void RemoveCR(char* pszWinStr)
{
   char* src;
   char* dest;

   for (src = dest = pszWinStr; *src; src++)
   {
      if (*src != '\r')
      {
         *dest = *src;
         dest++;
      }
   }

   *dest = 0;
}
