while (*s++ = ((*t & 0x60) == 0x40 ? *t ^ 0x20 : *t)) t++;

Well, you're right, but why would anyone want to do a bitwise XOR on a character in a string. Is this some sort of half-assed encryption thing, or maybe converting a string from Base64 characters to ascii?

Yeah, that was me. Only for the sake of being cryptic though, although I'm starting to think we need more code like that these days. Beats 'design patterns'.

*t ^ 0x20 maybe upper

I just had the debugger out, cranking it through.

But it only xors with 0x20 if it's already upper case (or a non-ascii char between 0xC0 and 0xDF) Undeserved 2-vote.

Well, to be honest, I did take a look at the ASCII table.. before that I wasn't sure enough of my answer to post it Undeserved 1-vote.

Copying string, turning upper case into lower case...

[hdjim]

increment the address of s set the value of s to the value of t and increment t. the value of t is dependent on the if statement. AND the value of t with 0x60 and if bit 6 is set, make the value of s = the value of t exclusive ored with 32,otherwise set s to the value of t... then increment the address of t. do this until the value of s is not true.

I used to write my code like this until my boss beat me with stick and took my coffee cup :laugh:

I remember using this technique for an assembly program I wrote many years ago. When I worked out what it was doing, it took a moment to realize why it look familiar... Andreas Mertens

It definitely returns a string with all lowercase characters.
