It really depends on what you want to do with the string. If you want to
replace the funny characters with some other character, such as a space, the
following would work:
int i = 0;
while (id[i] != '\0')
{
if (id[i] < ' ' || id[i] > 'z')
id[i] = ' ';
i++;
}
If you wish to simply remove those characters from the string, you can do
the following:
int i=0, j=0;
char id2[MAXLEN]; // where max len is defined to the max length of the
string
while (id[i] != '\0')
{
if (id[i] >= ' ' && id[i] <= 'z')
id2[j++] = id[i];
i++;
}

Subject: Cuting strings
Hi everybody!
When I read a record from a database I get a long string with some funny
signs in it. Example:
i[]00112578[]Jonsson Maria
(the [] illustrates a rectangle here)
If I want to get the signs 00112587 and Jonsson Maria and put them into two
variables, how do I do that?
I tried this: id[8]='\0'; But then I got: i[]001125
How do I get ride of the 2 first signs??
Thanks in advance //Maria
