Not so. Although the 8-bit byte today is a de facto standard
for most of the equipment in wide use, it is not set in stone,
lest is it defined that way.
So it's actually:

Hi all,
I'm working again in the frontend of simple-netaid.
Is there a way to get information about the status of the network
connection, for example, a way to get the ESSID of the wifi to which we
are connected at some time?
Thanks in advance,
Aitor.

May as well toss in the assembler guy approach to the problem:
char SpaceSquash()
{
for (i = strlen(desc) - 1; i > 0; i--) {
if (desc[i-1] == ' ') {
if (desc[i] == ' ') {
strncpy(&desc[i], &desc[i+1], (strlen(desc)-i));

An interesting task would be to look at the various algorithms offered, work
out how the compiler is likely to handle them when turning into code (or even
look at the code generated), and then work out the efficiency of the different
methods in terms of CPU cycles/character.
Of course, it's poss
