Call function from function - how to pass correctly

JM567 (30)
I'm having a lot of trouble with trying to write the syntax for one of my codes.

The main problem I'm having is calling the trimField() function

The trimFrield() function is called from my csvRecord transformDataToCSV() function, which is a structure type. Those are the variables being passed to trimField(). Here it what I have so far:

10
11

// For the required data members, Name, Id, Score, call trimField function to remove trailing spaces and place data into csvRecord, copy entire array
   // of answers to csvRecord and return record
csvRecord transformDataToCSV(Scantron &inputRecord){
    csvRecord outputRecord;
    trimField(inputRecord.Name[21], outputRecord.Name[21]);
    trimField(inputRecord.Id[11], outputRecord.Id[11]);
    trimField(inputRecord.score[4], outputRecord.score[4]);
    for(int i = 0; i < 60; ++i){
        outputRecord.answerArray[i] = inputRecord.answerArray[i];
        trimField(inputRecord.answerArray[61], outputRecord.answerArray[61]);
    }

    return outputRecord;
}


// Remove trailing spaces from fieldIn cstring and place in fieldOut cstring
// If entire field is blank place one space followed by '\0'
void trimField(char fieldIn[], char fieldOut[] )   {
    for(int i = 0; i < 150; i++)    {
        if(fieldIn[i] != ' ')   {
            strncpy(fieldIn, fieldOut, 150);
        }
    }
}



The file we are trimming looks like this. It includes extra variables but only certains ones are passed to fieldIn:

I had to redo it because my question changed, and so the first title was not correct anymore and it won't let me edit the title
