man strdel () - delete characters from beginning of string
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 occurences 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; }
