You can use find and replace function of string class.

C.... code.. its up for you to translate to C++
and correct other situations.. like no string is entered....

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

#define MAX_LEN_WORD 80
#define MAX_NO_WORDS 100

main(){
   char buffer[MAX_LEN_WORD]="";
   char word[MAX_NO_WORDS][MAX_LEN_WORD];
   int word_counter = 0;

    printf("Enter string");
    gets(string);
/*separating the words */
    len = strlen(string);
    for(x=0;x<len;x++){
         if(string[x]==' '){
          strcpy(word[word_counter],buffer);
          word_counter++;
         buffer = "";
     }
     buffer[x] = string[x];
  }

 printf("What word would you like to change");
  scanf("%s",&change);

/*looking fo that word..  */
  for(x=0;x<word_counter;x++){
     if(strcmp(change,word[x])==0){
           strcpy(word,change);
       }
  }

/*concatening the words back */
for(x=0;x<word_counter;x++){
    strcat(final_sentence,word[x]);
}
/*printing the sentence back..*/

puts(final_string); 
getch();

}

those codes of mine are not tested by the way... just try reading the flow of it... dont just copy the code directly to your program... anyways.. i assume you are not new to programming....[quote]

main(){

Wake up and smell the current millenium, or even the '90s.

gets(string);

I know of no forums that will treat you any better than a first-day newb for posting code contiaining the most well-known do-not-use-ever function in C.

scanf("%s",&change);

getch();

The nonportable code tends to get panned if there is a reasonable and portable replacement.
