Word Replace in C, not Substring

Is there a way to replace all occurrences of a word in a string in C with another word. By word, I don't mean substring.

OneOne One One OneOneOne One

Word to find:

Word to Replace it with:

Forty

Desired Output:

OneOne Forty Forty OneOneOne Forty

there are many example functions for replacing words in a string, i.e. What is the function to replace string in C?

you can use these functions to do what you want because the (white)spaces are also characters, see Removing Spaces from a String in C? and https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars/spaces.html

so in the replace functions it is a difference if the replace string is

replace ='One' or replace = ' One '

if you use the second this should work
