Thread: Character Manipulation

Hello
I am to write a program that will drop a certain character from a string.
Such as with the string "hi hun" I want the h to be dropped thus "i un". I'd also like to do it for uppercase letters as well. Here is my attempt thus far, only focusing on getting one case to drop rather than an uppercase as well.

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
char remove(char[]);
int main()
{
const int MAX = 80;
char message[MAX];
cout << "Enter a message:  " << endl;
cin.getline(message, MAX);
remove(message);
cout << message << endl;

return 0;
}
char remove(char mes[])
{
for(int i = 0; mes[i] != '\0'; i++)
if (mes[i] = 'h')
(mes[i] - 'h' + ' ');
}

The output I recieve is in all h'
Thanks

if (mes[i] = 'h') should be if (mes[i] == 'h'). = is assignment, == is comparison.

Ah I feel silly.
I went back and changed it. It fixed the hhhh thing but it's still not removing the character h from the string. Basically i'm putting it in and its coming back to me the same.
Thanks for the input thus far.
