setBlankTerminator()

The strLib.setBlankTerminator() system function changes a null terminator and any subsequent characters to spaces. strLib.setBlankTerminator() changes a string value returned from a C or C++ program to a character value that can operate correctly in an EGL program.

Syntax

  strLib.setBlankTerminator(target CHAR | DBCHAR | MBCHAR | UNICODE inOut)
target
The target string can be of type CHAR, DBCHAR, MBCHAR, or UNICODE. If no null value is found in target, the function has no effect.

Example

  // call C function defined in NativeLibrary
  // name is defined as CHAR(25)
  get_name(ID, name);
  strLib.setBlankTerminator(name);
  // name is now "Freddy Ramirez           "
