try to use this:

#include <stdio.h>

void RemoveChar( char* string, char c )
{
	char *cp = string;
	
	while( *string )
	{
		if( *string != c )
		{
			*cp = *string;
			cp++;
		}

		string++;
	}

	*cp = 0;
}

void main()
{
	char buffer[] = {&quot;227-204-242] &quot;};

	RemoveChar( buffer, ']' );

	printf(&quot;buffer = %s\n&quot;, buffer );
}

An alternative, but it truncates the string as well.

#include <string.h>
char buffer[80] = &quot;227-204-242]xyz&quot;;
char* toremove = strchr (buffer, '[');
*toremove = '\0';

You didn't say whether you wanted to keep the rest of the string.

the xwd's code's dangerous, run time error will occurs if the specified character doesn't exists in the character string.

this is mine:

void remC(int c, char *s)
{
   while ((s = strchr(s, c)) != 0)
      strcpy(s, (s + 1));
}
