in reply to Re^2: Splicing Arrays on pre-defined indices
in thread Splicing Arrays on pre-defined indices

Thx for reply, let me make my question rather more simple 
# Assume below line is read from a file 
my @array = qw/i will skip some words here using splice/;
print "Array before deletion \n";
print join("-->",@array),"\n";
print "Enter the Indices which you like to skip\n";
chomp($indices=<STDIN>);
# i entered 2,4,5
my @indices = split(/\,/,$indices);
foreach (@indices){
     splice (@array,$_,1); # remove element 
}
print "Updated array is as below \n";
print join("==>",@array),"\n";
# if there is any easy way of doing above in short , i can integrate i
+n my existing code

    All you need is an array slice: 

    ## Assume @array contains fields (from wherever)
## Assume @indices contains field numbers to keep (from wherever)

@array = @array[ @indices ];

## Now, @array only contains the fields you want to keep.
