deleting spaces in an ansistring

Expand Post »

Hello, anyone familiar with ansiString?

Have a problem involving a string "1 1", should read "11".

I want to get rid of the space in the middle. Can't change it to a character string or std::string so that isn't an option. Will i have to compare each character inturn with " "?

Using ansiString.Pos(" ") to get position of the " ", but how should i go about removing the space and replacing it with the next character?

Re: deleting spaces in an ansistring

OK here is what I've got at the minute:

[PHP]
String fixString(inputString)
{
result = inputString;
int string_size = result.Length();
while(result.Pos(" "))
{
int space = result.Pos(" ");
for (int i = space; i < string_size; i++)
{
result[space] = result[space+1];
string_size--;
}
}
result.SetLength(string_size);
return result;
}
[/PHP]

Re: deleting spaces in an ansistring

Isn't std::string the ANSI string?

Why are you not using std::string? If you were you could just do...

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
result.erase(result.find(' '));
result.erase(result.find(' '));

To remove one space...

Re: deleting spaces in an ansistring

ansiString is Borland's C++ builder string class. you can use its SubString method to remove the space. I don't use that compiler, but googled a bit and found this in about 5 seconds.
