If pat does not occur in str, no substitution is made. Of course, if sub is an empty string, the pattern is deleted from the string.RETURN VALUEstrsub returns a pointer to the first character after the substitution, or NULL if no substitution was made.EXAMPLETo substitute up to two occurences of "foo" with "bar" in a line, one might do the following. p = strsub(line, "foo", "bar"); if (p != NULL) strsub(line, "foo", "bar");SEE ALSOpublib(3), strstr(3), strgsub(3)AUTHORLars Wirzenius (lars.wirzenius@helsinki.fi) Publib C Programmer's Manual STRSUB(3pub)
