String and pointer problem
i am having a string like
" X1 " ---> string lenght is 30
I have stored this to a chararry . ref[30]
so here ref = " X1 "
now i trim the left space by my function . Si the string now becomes
"X1 " ---> string lenght is 15
I want this string as 30 character array , when i tried to print after trining the space it is becoming 15 in length
After triming on the 30 character array , i need to add the balnk space in the end .
in short after i do a trim the string should be as
"X1 " --- correct
"X1 " --> incorrect now after triming i am getting like i am not able to achieve the above
