The problem I currently have now is that I'm not sure how to get user input and then strcmp() with the contents in the text file to delete that particular string containing the substring like what the user inputs. I also read on strstr() and gets() and implemented them but only manage to extract the ... (more) |

But, once I found that line, how do I delete it? Is there some kind of built-in delete function to delete that particular line in the .txt file? I do see some coders creating a new temporary text file and store and rename it again but it seems quite hectic. (more) |

| Question | — |
How can I modify the code above to accept string as user input and use strcmp to compare with the contents of the text file & then delete that line? I want to enter a string to compare with the text file, and if that word matches, then I want to delete that line containing that string. How can I modify the code below, since the code below takes line number as input to delete a specific line. Thank you. ``` #include int main() { ... (more) |

| Question | — |
How to efficiently remove every occurrence of one string inside another 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 ... (more) |

But what if I for instance want to delete a specific content from the text file using c program? Is there some function that I can use as I do not want to clear ALL the contents, thanks!

Regarding the implementation of data structures. I'm attempting a question to do with data structures, file streams & linked lists. The code isn't complete yet as I am still halfway working on it.

Oh sorry, I actually did include the #include<stdio.h> its just that when I copied and pasted this code from my C compiler onto here, I missed it out. Maybe I'll try and see if there's any updates for my C compiler. I'm using code:blocks btw. I mean it should be fine right? (more) |
