Re: finding and deleting an element from array

The usual way is to do Fisher-Yates shuffle on @cards and deal from the top with pop.

If you wish to pull from a deck with rand, splice is nice.

I'll fill in the blanks, for Zaxo's suggestion to use splice: `push @hand, splice @cards, int rand @cards, 1;` [download] You can do this as many times as you wish, to get a full hand.	[reply] [d/l]

Gotcha, guess I was doing it backwards. Thanks for the replies.	[reply]
