Nah... that sound's too much like C/C++ thinking.  Java deals more with
strings and tokens, rather than character arrays with null terminators.

Try something like this:

/*********/
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class delWord {

   public static void main (String av[]) {

     try {

       BufferedReader is = new BufferedReader(
         new InputStreamReader(System.in));
       String inputLine;
       StringBuffer outputLine;
       String wordToDelete = "and";
       StringTokenizer words;
       String curWord;

       while ((inputLine = is.readLine()) != null) {
         words = new StringTokenizer(inputLine);

         while (words.hasMoreTokens()) {
           curWord = st.nextToken();

           if (!curWord.equals(wordToDelete)) {
             System.out.print(curWord);
           }
         }
       }
       is.close();
     } catch (IOException e) {
       System.out.println("IOException: " + e);
     }
   }
}
/********/

Run this with:

$ java delWord < inputFile > outputFile

Something like that would work.  I'm not a certified Java hacker, but I
did stay a a Holiday Inn Express last night. :)
