Remove characters from a string in C

Question

I only have access to \'C\' and need to replace characters within a character array. I have not come up with any clean solutions for this relatively simple procedure.

Answer 1

char *s = (char*)strBuffer;
char sClean[strlen(strBuffer) + 1]; /* +1 for null-byte */
/* if above does not work in your compiler, use:
    char *sClean = (char*)malloc(sizeof(strBuffer) + 1);
*/
int i=0;
while (*s)
{
    sClean[i++]= *s;
    if ((*s == '&') && (!strncmp(s, "&", 5)) s += 5;
    else s++;
}
sClean[i] = 0;
