    Well, you could start with using strstr() to find the first occurence of one string within another.... that might help.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Take cA that you don't replace things that A needed to form whole words.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Look up how to use the function strstr(). In short, it finds the first occurence of one string within another. Understand how to use this function, and you will be on the way to solving your problem.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
