How do I trim leading/trailing whitespace in a standard way?

Question

Is there a clean, preferably standard method of trimming leading and trailing whitespace from a string in C? I\'d roll my own, but I would think this is a common problem wit

Answer 1

What do you think about using StrTrim function defined in header Shlwapi.h.? It is straight forward rather defining on your own.

If you have
char ausCaptain[]="GeorgeBailey ";
StrTrim(ausCaptain," ");
This will give ausCaptain as "GeorgeBailey" not "GeorgeBailey ".
