Removing CR/LF from a file

[dnfrantum]

I know how to insert CR/LF in a document, but how would I remove them. I have an flat file that I want to remove each CR/LF to create one long string. Can someone steer me in the right direction.



Thanks in advance,
Donald

To use an existing file you could use any line reading mechanism (there are several) which returns only the text of the line thereby stripping the CRLF bytes from the input stream. Then all you have to do is write the data in memory to a file.

Something like this will do it - you'll have to add your own error checking as required.....


FILE * fptr_in;
FILE * fptr_out;
char sz_buffer[1024];
char * ptr;

if((fptr_in=fopen("test.c","r&quot)==NULL)
return 1;
if((fptr_out=fopen("output","w&quot)==NULL)
{
fclose(fptr_in);
return 1;
}
while(fgets(sz_buffer,1023,fptr_in)!=0)
{
if((ptr=strrchr(sz_buffer,'\n'))!=NULL)
*ptr=0x00;
fwrite(sz_buffer,strlen(sz_buffer),1,fptr_out);
}
fclose(fptr_in);
fclose(fptr_out);
return 0;
