    How to copy one string array to another excluding one string

    Hi

    I have a string array with the following data
    AAA BBB CCC DDD
    and I want to copy all the above data expect BB to another string array. I have the below. inputarray is my source string array and I want to write it to outputarr.
    The problem I have is as seen below where data does not get copied consecutively to outputarr. Can some help me on this? Thanks.

    Code:
    int remBBB(char *inputarray[], char *outputarr[], int count)
    {
    	printf ("In remBBB\n");
    	int x=0; 
    	int count1=0; 
    	char value[MAX_PATH]={NULL}; 
    	sprintf (value,"BBB"); 
    	for (x=0; x < count; x++)
    	{
    		if (strcmp(inputarray[x],value) != 0)
    		{
    			memcpy(outputarr, inputarray, sizeof(outputarr)); 
    			count1++; 
    		}	
    	}
    	return count1++; 
    }

    Sorry, below is what I have.

    Code:
    int remBBB(char *inputarray[], char *outputarr[], int count)
    {
    	printf ("In remBBB\n");
    	int x=0; 
    	int count1=0; 
    	char value[MAX_PATH]={NULL}; 
    	sprintf (value,"BBB"); 
    	for (x=0; x < count; x++)
    	{
    		if (strcmp(inputarray[x],value) != 0)
    		{
    			memcpy(outputarr[x], inputarray[x], sizeof(outputarr[x])); 
    			count1++; 
    		}	
    	}
    	return count1++; 
    }
