Where to begin? C/C++ string manipulation
 

I've been programming professionally for 30+ years in just about every other language than C/C++ (BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal, APL, PL-1, Assembly: Z-80/x86/DEC, Perl, PHP, and more).

Now, I need to really get into C/C++ programming and specifically string manipulation (i.e. search a file for a string, replacing a string in a file with another string).

Does anyone have any recommended web sites or publications that have been very helpful in this particular area, especially with lots of examples. The last time I wrote anything in C was probably 12 to 15 years ago in my C class at the University. I've been hiding as a senior Unix admin since then. ;-)

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mike,

I recommend you'll start with reading about glibc (it has naturally support for string manipulation).
I've list below the sites I think will help you get on track quickly:

Hope I helped little bit.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was hoping for. Your help is much appreciated.
