One more string question

[converge]

Say I had a string like this: "blah x blah". How could I remove the x, so it was just "blah blah"? Thanks.

That depends on what "blah" "x" and "blah" are supposed to be. You could always use sscanf and printf.

sscanf( buffer "%s %*c %s", string1, string2 );
printf("%s %s", string1, string2 );

This code seems to work for any number of spaces either side of the 'x'... as long as the "change" array is long enough, of course...

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

int main()
{
 char test[]={"blah x blah"},
         change[20]={"\0"};

 int j, i, len=0, count=0;

 printf("Test string was  : %s\n\n",test);

 len=strlen(test);

 for(i=0;i<len;i++)
  {
	if(test[i]=='x') /* change the 'x' to a space */
	 test[i]=' ';
	}

 for(j=0,i=0;i<len;j++,i++)
   {
       if(test[i]!=' ')
           change[j]=test[i];

       else
         {
          count++;
       if(count==1) /* copy first space only */
         change[j]=test[i];
       else
          j--;
         }

     } /* end for */

 printf("Changed string is: %s\n\nEnd of program!",change);

 return 0;
}

Good night all!!
