PathRemoveBlanks

void PathRemoveBlanks(
    LPTSTR lpszString
    );

Removes all leading and trailing spaces from a string.

No return value.

lpszString: Address of the string from which to strip all leading and trailing spaces.

Example:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include "Shlwapi.h"

void main( void )
{
	
    // Path with leading and trailing spaces.
	char buffer_1[] = "  c:\\TEST\\File1\\File2  ";  
	char *lpStr1;   // |--------- leading   &   |-------- trailing spaces
	lpStr1 = buffer_1;

    // Path before "PathRemoveBlanks".
	cout << "Path before calling \"PathRemoveBlanks\": " << lpStr1 << endl;
	cout << "Dashes are only to indicate path width :"
         <<"\n---->|" << lpStr1 << "|<----" << endl;

    // Call function "PathRemoveBlanks".
    PathRemoveBlanks(lpStr1);

    // Path after "PathRemoveBlanks".
	cout << "\nPath after calling \"PathRemoveBlanks\": " << lpStr1 << endl;
    cout << "Dashes are only to indicate path width :"
         << "\n---->|" << lpStr1 << "|<----" << endl;

}
OUTPUT:
==================
Path before calling "PathRemoveBlanks":   c:\TEST\File1\File2
Dashes are only to indicate path width :
---->|  c:\TEST\File1\File2  |<----

Path after calling "PathRemoveBlanks": c:\TEST\File1\File2
Dashes are only to indicate path width :
---->|c:\TEST\File1\File2|<----
