I use do...while instead of the for loop, making the usual nasty C-programmer use of ++ in the right spots, but other than that, my solution is the same. Edit:

I also copy the '\0' character before exiting instead of making that a separate step. It has to do with the order of things. Here is the code: char* read_ptr = s; do { if (*read_ptr != c) { *s++ = *read_ptr; } } while (*read_ptr++ != '\0');
