NAME

       uremove  -  Removes a character from a string. Allegro game programming
       library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int uremove(char *s, int index);

DESCRIPTION

       Removes the character at  the  specified  `index'  within  the  string,
       sliding  the  rest  of  the  data  back  to fill the gap. If `index' is
       negative, it counts backward from the end of the string. Example:

          int length_in_bytes = ustrsizez(text_string);
          ...
          length_in_bytes -= uremove(text_string, -1);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the number of bytes by which the trailing part  of  the  string
       was moved.
