cnfLenc - Find the length of a C string

Description:
Find the length (i.e. position of the last non blank character) in a C string.

Invocation:
result = cnfLenc( source_c )

Arguments:

const char *source_c (Given)
A pointer to the input C string

Returned Value:

int cnfLenc
The length of the input C string

Notes:
This routine follows the FORTRAN convention of counting positions from one, so with an input string of "ABCD" the value returned would be 4.
