in thread How do I delete a row of an array

There is another important difference between splice and substr that should be mentioned. If you call
substr EXPR,OFFSET,LENGTH substr EXPR,OFFSET
This will not erase anything in the string while if you use
splice ARRAY,OFFSET,LENGTH splice ARRAY,OFFSET
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.
