I'm after the equivalent of .NET's String.Trim in C using the win32 and standard C api (compiling with MSVC2008 so I have access to all the C++ stuff if needed, but I am just trying to trim a char*).

Given that there is strchr, strtok, and all manner of other string functions, surely there should be a trim function, or one that can be repurposed...

Thanks
