Help plz....

i am trying to replace any whitespace in the following code with (*) i am not sure exactly how to implement the code...

string garbage;
garbage = "afahs grjr fkfk ";

Is there a thing in the standard string class that can search through the string or do I have to build my own function to do it.

Thanks for any ideas.

Look this up - _tcschr (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt_strchr.2c_.wcschr.2c_._mbschr.asp)

This is the code you need. :D
std::string garbage;
garbage = "afahs grjr fkfk ";

LPTSTR lpszPos = _tcschr (garbage.c_str (), ' ');

while (lpszPos)
{
*lpszPos = '*';
LPTSTR pszTemp = lpszPos;
lpszPos = _tcschr (pszTemp, ' ');
}

cout << garbage.c_str (); // Voila! It works!

thanks for the help!!!!what exactly is happening in the body of that while loop??
You are welcome. :)

Why don't you Debug to find out?
Besides, the post contains a link to _tcschr - why not read it?

Nope...this is the code he actually needs... ;)
I must reluctantly agree! :)
std::replace(garbage.begin(), garbage.end(), ' ', '*');You seem to be better at processing garbage than I! :D

Thanks, Andreas - 'coz I gained something too. :thumb:
