I ended up here for a slighly different problem. Since I don't know where else to put it, and I found out what was wrong, I share it here. Don't be cross with me, please. I had some strings that would print additional spaces at their ends, while showing up without spaces in debugging. The strings where formed in windows calls like VerQueryValue(), which besides other stuff outputs a string length, as e.g. iProductNameLen in the following line converting the result to a string named strProductName:

    strProductName = string((LPCSTR)pvProductName, iProductNameLen)

then produced a string with a \0 byte at the end, which did not show easily in de debugger, but printed on screen as a space. I'll leave the solution of this as an excercise, since it is not hard at all, once you are aware of this.
