Question

I am having a problem. I need to make a function called replaceText that replaces a targeted text with new text. The null character is not included and if no targetText is found then there is no text replacement.

The parameters are two arrays targetText[] and replacementText[]. This is for an assignment and I cannot use str. Here is my code so far.

void SimpleString::replaceText(char targetText[], char replacementText[])
    {
        for ( int i = 0; i < MAX_LIST; i++)
        {
            if( replacementText[i] > MAX_LIST)
            {
                throw SimpleStringOverflowException("SimpleStringOverflowException: Resulting SImpleString too large.");
            }
        }
    }

Here you go:

    void replace_text(char targetText[], char replacementText[])

{


    int i;
        if(strlen(replacementText) > 0 )
    {

        for(i=0;i<strlen(replacementText);i++)
        {           
            targetText[i] = replacementText[i];
        }
        for(i = strlen(replacementText) ; i < strlen (targetText) ; i++)
            targetText[i] = '\0';
    }

} 

I assume you can use strlen….right? if not let me know…
