Or if we're going REALLY trying to shorten that code...

while(*str) *str++=0;

That will not work.  change "/0"  to '\0' and " "  to ' ' and it will work.  but
it looks ugly.  your code clears it with spaces too, but that works ofcourse,
but I like too clear with 0.

I think this line looks nicer:

int i; for(i=0;str[i++]!=0;str[i]=0);

if you want to clear to space, change the last zero to ' ' instead.
