How could I delete the character at the offset found with StrStr and > all the characters to the end of the string? If you search for a char, then it is better to use StrChr. If you search for a str, then use StrStr. If pend points to the found offset, then *(pend+1) will "delete" the rest of the string. If you really want to clear all chars after pend, then put 0x0 to each char since pend+1 until the end of the original str.
