ARGH! How the hell do you remove a character from a string... (STILL UNRESOLVED)

Ok, this is really starting to bug me...

How do you remove a character from a string WITHOUT replacing the whole string? I've printed an example below.

This is the text I want to change. I've split it into the sections it's sent in, and each section is searched before it's appendeed to the end.

ÿ‚[N 10:48am 150/150hp 504/504m 706mv 1000xp> ÿù

ÿ‚[N 10:48am 150/150hp 504/504m 706mv 1000xp> ÿùThere is 1 character on you can see (yourself).
The most characters on since the last reboot has been 2.

So each one of those 'code' bits ('s really just there coz it's a monotyped font) is a seperate string, but when appended to the end of an rtf text box, they make up the entire string. But anyway, as each section comes in, I want to search it for escape sequences (not shown, but they're chr(27) and [) and those annoying y and u things...

And ideas? Oh, and this text ocmes in through Winsock's Recv function if that's any help.

Thanks.
