NAME¶
strdel - delete characters from beginning of string
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <publib.h>
char *strdel(char *s, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION¶
strdel removes the first n characters of s. If n is
greater than the length of the string, all characters in the string (not
counting '\0') are removed but no more.
RETURN VALUE¶
strdel returns its first argument.
EXAMPLE¶
To change all occurrences of "Pascal" in the input to
"Yuck!", you might do the following:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <publib.h>
int main(void) {
char line[512];
while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), stdio) != NULL) {
while ((p = strstr(line, "Pascal")) != NULL) {
strdel(p, 6);
strins(p, "Yuck!");
}
printf("%s", line);
}
return 0;
}
