To change all occurences of "Pascal" in the input to "Yuck!", you might
do the following:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <publib.h>
int main(void) {
char line[512];
while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), stdio) != NULL) {
while ((p = strstr(line, "Pascal")) != NULL) {
strdel(p, 6);
strins(p, "Yuck!");
}
printf("%s", line);
}
return 0;
}
