Way too complicated ...
==[ Begin Code snippet ]=====================================
Char* szString, szTemp ;
UInt8 nLocation ; // Location of '/' in string
szTemp = StrChr(szString,'/') ;
if (szTemp != NULL) // Just being clear ...
{
nLocation = szTemp - szString ;
szTemp = StrNCopy(szTemp,szString,nLocation) ;
// An alternative is to set the character at the
// "nLocation" that way found to be '/0'
}
else
{
// '/' wasn't found in string ...
}
==[ End Code snippet ]=======================================
You have a heap of String function available to you in the String Manager
without resorting to shifting bits and looping. Use them.
