A small function to remove any occurrences of one string from another.

• The brand new StringChop$ 9000!!! IT SLICES!! IT DICES!! (Does not Julienne at this time). This function simply locates the position of a 'find' string within a 'source' string, grabs everything before and after it, combines those two as a new 'source' string and repeats the process on that. Voila! Perfect potatoes every time! Delicious test program included! Enjoy!

 input "Original string: "; orig$ 
 if (orig$ = "") then end

 input "Character(s) to chop: "; chop$ 
 if (chop$ = "") then end 
 
 orig$ = StringChop$(orig$, chop$) 
 if (orig$ = "") then end 
 
 print "Chopped string: "; orig$ 
 goto [loop]

 cLen = len(c$) 
 do 
 cPos = instr(o$,c$,cPos) instr(StringChop$,c$,cPos) 
 
 if not(cPos) then exit do 
 
 pre$ = left$(o$,cPos left$(StringChop$,cPos - 1) 
 post$ = mid$(o$, mid$(StringChop$, cPos + cLen) 
 o$ StringChop$ = pre$ + post$ 
 loop while 1 
 StringChop$ = o$ end function
