Strings.....

[Nelson Guedes Paulo Junior]

Hello to everyone....

I need a really fast way to do the following:

I have a (char *) that contains am arbitrary string and have space to do
the desired operation. Now i need to left-shift the string from n
positions and fill the initial n position with space.
for example:

char *string;

string = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char)*10);
string = "Hello\0";
left_shift_string(string,2);
printf("String value:%s\n",string);

When you execute the following code, will be printed:

"String value:  Hello"

Note that now we have two spaces at the beggining of the string.

The function can assume that we HAVE space to do the operation, n
will be an positive integer, must run on Windows/Dos/Unix/Linux
systems and must follow the prototype:

char *left_shift_string(char *string,int n);

Thanks....
