#include <lcstring.h> size_t strrspn(const char *str, const char *cset);
strrspn
locates the last character in the input string str
not
contained in the search set cset
. The strrspn
function is the reverse of
strspn
.
strrspn
returns the number of characters in the input string up to
and including the last occurrence of a character not in the search
set.
If all characters of the input string are in the search set, the return
value is 0. If the search set is null (that is, if it contains no
characters), the return value from strrspn
is the length of the
input string.
strrspn
to remove trailing blanks from the end
of a line:
#include <lcstring.h> #include <stdio.h> #define MAXLINE 80 main() { char *line; char string[MAXLINE]; size_t i; puts("Enter a string, followed by some spaces:"); line = gets(string); /* Find the position (i) of the last character */ /* in the string that is not a blank. */ i = strrspn(line, " "); /* Check if line is a null string. */ if (i > 0) /* Set the character after the last */ /* nonblank character to the null character. */ line[i] = '0'; else puts("The string contains only blanks."); printf("The last nonblank character in the string is %cn", line[i-1]); }
