Hi guys,
I'm trying to truncate the running header at a space so we don't get
half a word or in a test case we just got a capitol sign!
Anyway I've written a routine to truncate at the last space before the
truncate length but then I look at the code and the 'string' definition
refers to widechar, but when I find the definition of widechar at line
33 of liblouis.h it says:
#define widechar unsigned short int
How can a string be an int!
Here is my test routine in case it helps.
Thanks
Paul
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main ()
{
char str[] = "This is t h ";
char * pch;
char str1[40];
int lenstr1;
int length=10;
printf ("Looking for the 'space' character in \"%s\"...\n",str);
pch=str;
lenstr1=strlen(str);
while (pch!=NULL && (pch-str)<=length)
{
strncpy ( str1, str, pch-str ); /* Save previous string */
lenstr1=(pch-str); /* Save previous length of string */
pch=strchr(pch+1,' '); /* Find next space */
printf ("found at %d\n pch is %s\n",pch-str+1,pch);
}
if (lenstr1==0) { /* i.e. Not found any spaces */
strncpy ( str1, str, strlen(str) );
lenstr1=strlen(str);
}
str1[lenstr1] = '\0'; /* add Null as required */
printf("string is:\"%s\"\n",str1);
return 0;
}
