How to escape single quota in char * string

[rogerwux]

Hi there,
I got a char * pointer to some data and I was wondering how to replace
single quota, any ideas ? thanks

I guess you mean you have an array of characters and want to replace any single quotes " ' " in that array? If you're using C++, it would be much easier to put your data in a C++ string, then you can use its many easy and powerful search and replace functions. In C, iterate through the array until the terminating null, testing for single quotes at each step.

use the ascii code for the single quote.

use the ascii code for the single quote.

Please don't; if you run that thing on an EBCDIC machine it'll fail miserably.

Yeah... in case you own a mainframe go ahead and adjust for that. Otherwise, you'll more than likely be fine. o_0

Murphy said it much better: "anything that can go wrong will go wrong". Always
leave out magic numbers from your code.
