Search & Replace a uchar* to a char array

[huberkev11]

I have a similar problem as posted in the following thread:

http://bytes.com/topic/c/answers/691...place-function

The difference is that I need to search for words not just a single character and then replace the word if it is found.

I am relatively new to the C programming thing as well (done a lot of PHP and Java), so my understanding of pointers, etc is still novice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@huberkev11,

I will assume that the search and replace strings are of arbitrary length, meaning you've got a modest problem.

Assuming you've got access to C++, the std::string class has a good series of replace(...) methods you can use.

With just C - there are some very good C libraries around the net that you can google.

There's also a lot of junk.

Failing either of those, just take your time, write an algorithm, and we'll help you from there.

Maybe the strstr()function in the header file <cstring> and the replace()function defined in the header file <algorithm> could be a starting point,
