How to efficiently remove every occurrence of one string inside another

+1
−8

I have two strings and want to remove every occurrence of the second string inside the first one starting from the beginning of the first string and as if each occurrence was removed immediately. I would like to do so in C in a time-efficient way, i.e. probably with the lowest number of comparisons and include/copy actions.

Can you include in the question the actual problem you have in the code? Is the replacement working as expected? If it does, consider adding a review instead. If it does not work as expected, specify what is wrong (e.g. wrong string after replacement or a received error) and the expected value.
