Hi,
I was windering if there was a way to strip off the invisible null at the
end of a string.
Lets say I have taken a string and split it into individual components.
ie: i am canadian
var1 = i
var2 = am
var3 = canadian\0
How do I get rid of the \0 at the end of canadian???
Any help would be great!
Cheers,
Chris

I don't think you're understanding C strings: ALL strings in C
are NUL terminated, by definition. In other words,
var1 = i\0
var2 = am\0
var3 = canadian\0

I actually do understand c strings. Its just that I formated the strings
differently... it ended up adding an extra char at the end of my last var
that I mistook for NULL.
Its all good.
Thanks anyways,
Chris

This is like trying to cut the end off of a rope.
