Parsing a string

[fergmj]

I have a string that is like this:

2:00:00 PM

I want to take out the colons and out it in this format 20000PM

How can I do this?

Greetings!

Try to use this code:

do
{
k = Pos(":"
if(!k)
break;
string.Delete(k,1);
while(false);

or another

for(i = 0; i < 2; i++)
string.Delete(Pos(&quot;:&quot,1);

The first code is independent from a quantity of colon symbols and it may be used for deleting an unknown quantity of this symbols, the last code is used for deleting the only two colon chars if there exists, if it absent, the code fails

My colleague Pavlo always in a hurry.
Next code is really what you need.
I supposed, that str is AnsiString, and it contains
something like this:

2:00:00 PM


//-------------------------------
for(int x = 1;x <= str.Length();x++)
if(str[x] == ':' ||
str[x] == ' ')
str.Delete(x,1);
//---------------------------------

But i little fix DrLector's code!

for(int x = 1;x <= str.Length();x++)
if(str[x] == ':' ||
str[x] == ' ')
str.Delete(x--,1);


His code is right but non-universal, and it cant delete colon stand after each other.
