Thread: Equivelatn erase() function of string?

Hello, I need to make an equivelant function as of string.erase(...)

Can someone help me?
Thanks!

Equivalent function???

For what??? Your own string class?? A global function??

Equivelatn function for sting.erase(..)

I cant use string in a DLL as it crashes (discussed in a specific article)

So I have to make my own erase function taht works like the strings one. Get it now?

Any ideas?

Well...um...is this for a string class you have implemented?

You just need a wrapper function around the string::erase method.

Try something like:

Code:

char* serase(const char * s, int pos, int n);
{
  static string str(s);
  str.erase(pos, n);
  return str.c_str();
}

Notice that I have made the strng object static. This is important in maintaining the persistence of the return result.

Alternatively, you copy the result into a string pointer passed by argument.


Correction:

I think you may be better doing this, because of the static nature of str.

Code:

char* serase(const char * s, int pos, int n);
{
  static string str;
  str = s;
  str.erase(pos, n);
  return str.c_str();
}
