Extract and then delete char from string

[Damein]

Alright, so I am trying to find the best way to do this.

Example:

$String = "Test"

$CharToRemove = "t"

$CharPosition = StringInStr($String, $CharToRemove)

Now the $CharPosition will give me the first instance of "t" location. Now what I want to do is remove that, and then loop back to the start, with the first "t" gone, and the second "t" to be removed.

Thanks for the help, a little lost on the most efficient way of doing this

Damein,

Why not let StringReplace do all the work for you?

$sText = "TestTestTestTestTestTest"

$sNewText = StringReplace($sText, "t", "", 0, 1) ; Look in the Help file to see what the flags do. 

ConsoleWrite($sNewText & @CRLF)

Well, I will be needing to display the results each time it removes one, instead of doing all at once.

How about this then, assuming you only want to delete the lowercase Ts.

$sNewText = "TestTestTestTestTestTest"
While StringInStr($sNewText, "t", 1)
    $sNewText = StringReplace($sNewText, "t", "", 1, 1) ; Look in the Help file to see what the flags do.

    ConsoleWrite($sNewText & @CRLF)
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

That should work BrewMan, thanks.

I'll change the flag to any t's, but thats fine

Thanks.

What about this?

$string = "2011-03-30: This is a test to remove special characters from a string."
$pos = 3 ;find 3rd character
$schar = "t" ;character to search
$csens = 1 ;case sensitive
$replace = "*" ;replace character

ConsoleWrite(Replace_Character($string, $schar, $replace, 3) & @CRLF)

Func Replace_Character($string, $letter, $replace, $pos, $csens = 1)
    Local $new_string = $string
    Local $chk = StringReplace($new_string , $schar, $schar, 0, $csens) < $pos
    If @extended < $pos Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)  ;less than  $pos letters found!
    $find_pos = StringInStr($new_string , $letter, $csens, $pos)
    $new_string = StringReplace($new_string , $find_pos, $replace, 1, $csens)
    Return $new_string
EndFunc

Edit: ok, this is not what you looked for...
