Ex-1 : C Program to Remove all Characters in a String Except
Alphabets
In this example, you will learn to remove all the characters from a string
entered by the user except the alphabets.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char line[150];

printf("Enter a string: ");


fgets(line, sizeof(line), stdin); // take input

for (int i = 0, j; line[i] != '\0'; ++i) {


Continue…

// enter the loop if the character is not an alphabet


// and not the null character
while (!(line[i] >= 'a' && line[i] <= 'z') && !(line[i] >= 'A' && line[i] <=
'Z') && !(line[i] == '\0')) {
for (j = i; line[j] != '\0'; ++j) {

// if jth element of line is not an alphabet,


// assign the value of (j+1)th element to the jth element
line[j] = line[j + 1];
}
line[j] = '\0';
}
}
Continue…

printf("Output String: ");


puts(line);
return 0;
}
Output
Enter a string: p2'r-o@gram84iz./
Output String: programiz

This program takes a string input from the user and stores in the line
variable. Then, a for loop is used to iterate over characters of the
string.
If the character in a string is not an alphabet, it is removed from the
string and the position of the remaining characters are shifted to the
left by 1 position.
