Note to anybody copying code: both of calv's examples will segfault as posted. I have not had time to mess with it. On Monday I can get time to post something.
Segfaults on the condition when there are no spaces in the string, for example.
Plus undeclared variables.... maybe someone else can fix it.
edit: corrected code

strltrim
STRLTRIM(3pub) C Programmer's Manual STRLTRIM(3pub)NAME
strltrim - remove leading whitespace from string
SYNOPSIS
#include <publib.h>
char *strltrim(char *s);
DESCRIPTION
strltrim removes all leading whitespace characters from the beginning of a string, by moving everything starting from the first non-white-
space character to the beginning of the string. As whitespace is counted everything for which isspace(3) returns true.
RETURN VALUE
strltrim returns its argument.
EXAMPLE
To remove all indentation from all lines in a program, you might do the following:
#include <publib.h>
int main(void) {
char line[512];
while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), stdio) != NULL) {
strltrim(line);
printf("%s", line);
}
return 0;
}
