You're close already. My solution omits the i++ clause from the for
statement - what you do with i during each iteration depends on
whether you found an instance of the pattern at str[i]. If you did,
you advance i by three to consume the pattern; if not, advance by one
to consume the non-matching character at that index. Append to
newString appropriately in either case. After the loop, anything left
in str is too short to match the pattern, so you just append it to
newString.

Two loops. My god, man, what would the neighbors say!?
