C++ Remove punctuation from String

Question

I got a string and I want to remove all the punctuations from it. How do I do that? I did some research and found that people use the ispunct() function (I tried that), but

Answer 1

#include 
#include 
#include 

int main() {

    std::string text = "this. is my string. it's here.";

    for (int i = 0, len = text.size(); i < len; i++)
    {
        if (ispunct(text[i]))
        {
            text.erase(i--, 1);
            len = text.size();
        }
    }

    std::cout << text;
    return 0;
}

Output

this is my string its here

When you delete a character, the size of the string changes. It has to be updated whenever deletion occurs. And, you deleted the current character, so the next character becomes the current character. If you don't decrement the loop counter, the character next to the punctuation character will not be checked.
