C/C++. Backspace not working properly

[c0rrupt]

I can't get the backspace key to work properly. When typing the name it appears to be fine, but once I hit enter and it is printed out it doesn't look the way it should.

Ex.
"Davie[BS]d" will produce Davi once I hit enter

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

char name[32];

void main()
{
  int i = 0;
  while (name[i - 1] != 13)                   
  {
    name[i] = getch();

	//Check for Backspace.
	if (name[i] == 8) 
	{
	        i--;					
		printf("\b%c",0,8);		 
		name[i] = 0;.
	}
	else { printf("%c%c", name[i]); }

    i++;
  }
  name[i] = 0;
  printf("\nThank you %s", name);
  getch();
}

I would look at the last line of your IF statment as the problem.

Not really sure what you trying to do, but your else statement prints out two characters and doesnt supply an argument for the second character. (Surprised me that compiled and worked, prints out garbage.)

Edit: Oh I get it duh, alright your incrementing i even when backspace is detected, skipping over the null terminator you manually placed over the deleted character.
