Re: deleting all the elements of an array

There is more than one way to do it. I like to:

$#table_cont = -1;
[download]

This clears the array by setting the number of elements in the array to -1.

Cheers!

What you said works, but what you said for why it works doesn't. More specifically, what you assign to $#array is off by 1 from how many elements you leave in it.	[reply]

well if it makes you feel any better, I had to try to post 3 times before it finally got accepted. Seems like when you press ctrl+c in Mozilla in a form it randomly sends you back in history, and doesn't let you go foreward...	[reply]

You know, that made me smile and laugh a little. So yeah, it did make me feel a little better. ;-) Cheers! Brent	[reply]
