Question

Can anyone please help me? I need to remove the first character from a char * in C.

For example, char * contents contains a \'\\n\'

Answer 1

Here is my code

char  * bastakiniSil(char *contents){
char *p = malloc( sizeof(*p) * strlen(contents) );
int i;
for(i=0; i<strlen(contents); i++)
{
    p[i]=contents[i+1];
}

return p;

}
