removing a substring from a string

Hi, I want to write a function that remove a substring from a string source, and returns.
But I want to do this only using a strlen()function. Can you give me a suggestion how should I make an algorithm for this question?

e.g.

Let's say,

the string source : "abc def abc"
the string I want to delete: "abc"
the string source after deleting: "def"
etc.

The usual method is by typing source code into an IDE and compiling it.

In other words, this is obviously homework, since you are the second person to ask about it in a day.... so you need to work on it yourself. There is a reason people are assigned homework, and it isn't so they can run to an online forum and beg for help.

Actually, I tried to write something like below. I guess you can help me now?

Code:

---

int strRemoveAll(char src[],char key[]){
      for(i=0;i<strlen(src);i++){
                                if(src[i]==key[0]){
                                                    for(j=1;j<strlen(key);j++){
                                                                              if(src[i+j]==key[j])
                                                                                break;
                                                                              }
                                                                              else if (j==(strlen(key)-1))
                                                                                  printf("after the removed string: ", src[i]);
                                                      }

Why do you use strlen?
You don't need it.

Code:

---

int strRemoveAll(char *src,char *key)
{
  while( *src )
  {
    char *k=key,*s=src;
    while( *k && *k==*s ) ++k,++s;
    if( !*k )
    {
      while( *s ) *src++=*s++;
      *src=0;
      return 1;
    }
    ++src;
  }
  return 0;
}

  char s[]="foo bar foo ";
  while( strRemoveAll(s,"foo") );
  puts(s);

Thanks for your help but,I don't know pointers very well. Therefore, I wanted to use string arrays with strlen().
I'm sorry that I couldn't understand the code you wrote:( Could you tell me that if I want to use string arrays with strlen(),
what should it be?

I also don't know pointers very well. I also need an explanation for this :rolleyes:

If you don't like pointers, i think you should switch to other programming languages.

He didn't say he doesn't like them... he said he doesn't know them very well...

Get with your audience, my stupified friend.... the guy's a beginner trying to suss his way through a first time problem.
We can't ask him to think at our level... and don't you dare chastize him if he doesn't!


=================

@OP.... strlen() simply returns the length of a string... use it wherever it's appropriate. Don't let these mugs screw you around.
