taking a character out of a string

[Michael P.]

Okay, so what I'm trying to do is read in 2 phrases, then use 2 foreach loops to check for spaces and remove them.
Example:

foreach( character; phraseOne )
{
   if ( character == ' ' )
   {
      take the character out of the string ( and resize it??? )
   }
}
foreach( character; phraseTwo )
{
   if ( character == ' ' )
   {
      take the character out of the string ( and resize it??? )
   }
}

Also, is there anyway I can use only 1 foreach loop to do those 2 things? I'm pretty sure when I repeat code like that there must be a better way.

And 1 thing about readln and readf: I realized that I can't use readf to read words with spaces. And when there is a space entered with readf, the other words stay in the input buffer.(input buffer is what it is, right?) Then when I use readln (maybe readf too, I didn't check that), it automatically enters what was left over. How do I flush the input buffer?
Thanks.
