remove a character from a string c++ code example

Example 1: remove or erase first and last character of string c++

str.pop_back(); // removes last /back character from str
str.erase(str.begin()); // removes first/front character from str

Example 2: removing a character from a string in c++

#include<iostream>
#include<algorithm>

using namespace std;
main() {
   string my_str = "ABAABACCABA";

   cout << "Initial string: " << my_str << endl;

   my_str.erase(remove(my_str.begin(), my_str.end(), 'A'), my_str.end()); //remove A from string
   cout << "Final string: " << my_str;
}

Example 3: erasing a character from a string in c++

// string::erase
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main ()
{
  std::string str ("This is an example sentence.");
  std::cout << str << '\n';
                                           // "This is an example sentence."
  str.erase (10,8);                        //            ^^^^^^^^
  std::cout << str << '\n';
                                           // "This is an sentence."
  str.erase (str.begin()+9);               //           ^
  std::cout << str << '\n';
                                           // "This is a sentence."
  str.erase (str.begin()+5, str.end()-9);  //       ^^^^^
  std::cout << str << '\n';
                                           // "This sentence."
  return 0;
}

Example 4: delete one specific character in string C++

#include <algorithm>
str.erase(std::remove(str.begin(), str.end(), 'a'), str.end());
