StrTrim

BOOL StrTrim(
    LPTSTR psz,
    LPCTSTR pszTrimChars
    );

Removes (trims) any leading and trailing characters from a string.

• Returns nonzero if any characters were removed, or zero otherwise.

psz

Address of a string buffer that contains the string to be trimmed.

pszTrimChars

Address of an array of characters that will be trimmed from psz. The last element in this array must be zero.

Example:

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

void main( void )
{
  //String one
  TCHAR buffer[] = TEXT("_!ABCDEFG#");
  TCHAR trim[] = TEXT("#A!_\0");

  cout  <<  "The string before calling StrTrim: ";
  cout  <<  buffer;
  cout  <<  "\n";

  StrTrim(buffer, trim);

  cout  <<  "The string after calling StrTrim: ";
  cout  <<  buffer;
  cout  <<  "\n";

}

OUTPUT:
- - - - - -
The string before calling StrTrim: _!ABCDEFG#
The string after calling StrTrim: BCDEFG
