I know, but I use dbf format to store data-bases.

It's the dbf format too. In dbf char strings are blank filled, I use
null terminated strings internally, strcopnb do the input conversion.


int strcopnb( char *dest, char *org, int max )
{
  int i;

  strncpy( dest,org,max );
  dest[max] = '\0';
  max = strlen( dest );
  for( i=max-1; i >= 0 && dest[i] == ' '; i-- );
  dest[i+1] = '\0';
  return 0;
}
