Beginners question about arrays/strings

**Wiretron** · 11-07-2005

Lets say I have a string of characters, and I want to cut out the nth character.

Eg I want to turn 'world' into 'word' or 'wrld'

How do I do this?

I have tried saying that if blah[x] == blah[x+1], then do a loop which then proceeds to do blah[x]=blah[x+1] until x==n(when n is the number of letters in the word + 1). Unfortunately, despite trying this with both for and while loops i had no sucess.

Thanks for any advice

Here's one way.

Code:

   char a[] = "world";   
   char b[80] = "";
   
   strncpy(b, a, 3);
   strcat(b, a+4);
   printf("%s\n", b);

What about taking a look at memmove()
