I am feeling generous this hour. To get you started,
int main()
{
// fill in the rest of your code here
return 0;
}

You must learn some coding, but I will give you some tips. With the function strchr you get the occurance of a char in a string. With that information you can make a new string with left and right part without the char you want to eliminate. If you can use libraries than you can use replace with an empty char ("").
Look and learn the meaning of ASCII-characters to find the tabs and new lines.

Good luck with your homework.
