How to extract from string

[Ray.R]

I know I have done this in CVI before..

I just can't remember how I did it..  😠

(braindead today???!!!???)

Here goes:

Take a string:

"Mary had a little lamb"

FindPattern "little"

resulting string:  ""Mary had a lamb"

What I have works up to finding the pattern and it's location.

-sigh-

I know I'll kick myself because from what I recall, it's a very simple solution... I just can't think of it..

And I vaguely remember the function name that I used...

R

You could give something like this a try:

char *tok = "little ", *p, *s = "Marry had a little lamb";

p = strstr(s, tok);
strcpy (p, p + strlen (tok));

Thanks,

I should have mentionned that the token in this case is a backspace '\b' character.
The idea is to remove all backspace characters and the character preceding it.

Here's a sample of the data:
