strsub - substitute first occurrence of pattern with another string
Contents
Description
strsub finds the first occurrence of the pattern pat in the string str (using a method similar to
strstr(3), i.e., no regular expressions), and replaces it with sub. If pat does not occur in str, no
substitution is made.
Of course, if sub is an empty string, the pattern is deleted from the string.
Example
To substitute up to two occurrences of "foo" with "bar" in a line, one might do the following.
p = strsub(line, "foo", "bar");
if (p != NULL)
strsub(line, "foo", "bar");
Name
strsub - substitute first occurrence of pattern with another string
Return Value
strsub returns a pointer to the first character after the substitution, or NULL if no substitution was
made.
