How to delete a character from each word in the sentence

[soul111]

i was trying to do a program that ask you how many characters you wish to delete from each word
as example:
you enter the sentence : HI HOW ARE YOU
delimiter(strtok): space
number of characters to delete from each word: 1

the sentence becomes : I OW RE OU

#include <iostream.h>
#include <cstring>
char *mytok(char *,char *,int );
main(){
char s1[40];
char s2[40];
int n;
cout<<"Write down your sentence"<<endl;
cin.getline(s1,40,'\n');
cout<<"Enter your token or delimiter, -i assure you can enter more than one-"<<endl;
cin.getline(s2,40,'\n');
cout<<"How many characters you wish to delete from each word ? "<<endl;
cin>>n;
mytok(s1,s2,n);
}
char *mytok(char * s1,char * s2,int x){
int c;
char *sentence = new char[50];
sentence = strtok(s1,s2);
char *re = new char[40];
while(sentence != NULL){
c=0;
while (c<=x){
	c++;
	sentence++;
}
while(*sentence != '\0'){
*re = *sentence;
sentence++;
re++;
}
sentence++;
}
cout<<re<<endl;
}

That would be a piece of cake if done by means of std::string and std::stringstream.
Have you chosen to do it by C-style arrays for practice on them?

in our class we just use character arrays .
