I am pulling information from a binary file in C and one of my strings is coming out as \\b\\3777\\375\\v\\177 in GDB. I want to be able to parse this sort of useless data out of my output in a non-specific way – I.e anything that doesn’t start with a number/character should be kicked out. How can this be achieved?
The data is being buffered into a struct n bytes at a time, and I am sure that this information is correct based on how data later in the file is being read correctly.
if( isalnum( buf[ 0 ]) { printf( "%s", buf ); }
