what is the folowing statement means ??
char *blank=".html";

It creates a variable named blank that holds a pointer to a char and initialises it with the address of the string constant ".html".

That is slightly frowned on today if you are going to store the address of a string constant you should use a const pointer, best practice is to assume that string constants are not modifiable since on some platforms they aren't.

const char *blank=".html";
