That is wrong.  You didn't assign any string to biosnro yet, thus you cannot
use strlen() here.  Use sizeof() instead:

    memset(biosnro,' ', sizeof(biosnro));

BTW, why use ' ' instead of '\0'?  Then you wouldn't even need memset at
all:

    char biosnro[256] = {0};

> But why not use ?

Because it is not necessary to loop manually when there are already
provisions that do the same intializations for you.
