Remove character from character array ?

Hi,
I needed function to remove some characters from character array.
As always I looked in C Run-Time library, string manipulation functions
section -
and found nothing which contains trim or even remove !
Where to find such a simple function ?
(I'm not using MFC or .NET)

thanks
Vilius

search substring in reverse and update elements

eventually you should reallocate memory

My intention is to shift array elements left and thats it, and I know how to do that manually.
Still hope to find function.

If portability is important, you can also use the STL remove algorithm as follow:

#include <algorithm>

void InPlaceRemove( char* pToModify, char toRemove )
{
char* pLast = std::remove( pToModify, pToModify + strlen(pToModify), toRemove );
*pLast = '\0';
}
