Re: Re: How do I delete a row of an array (use splice, not delete)

There is another important difference between splice and substr that should be mentioned. If you call

substr EXPR,OFFSET,LENGTH
substr EXPR,OFFSET
[download]

This will not erase anything in the string while if you use

splice ARRAY,OFFSET,LENGTH
splice ARRAY,OFFSET
[download]

You will erase elements from the array

Thanks for all the responses. I am currently using the splice command in my script. It seems it is leaving blank data in row $i. When I view my table after using the splice command, the row $i data is replaced with blank data rather than being completely removed. I will try the delete function also to see if it works.
