How do I delete part of the String?

[eman ali]

Hello,
my problem is quite simple to explain.
I have the following string:
"type computer {dell}"
and I want to remove the {dell}
So that the output on the screen type computer
Or delete any clause between the two brackets {}
How do i do that ?
Thanks for your help.

your requirement is not very much clear. there is lots of if issue. anyway the simplest method would be search first { then search } and finally copy the part out of that range.

Look at the replace function using iteration.

You can download a regex library or you can build a rudimentary one for you purposes. You just need to find the indexes of your start and end characters and substring out the pieces you want.

you can download pcre library. it is written in C for pearl equivalent regular expression.

as Rabbit says:
with the C++ <string> header file
if string s="type computer {deli}"
and string s1=s(erase 14,6)then s1= "type computer "
