in reply to Re^7: deleting a specific element from an array
in thread deleting a specific element from an array

I misunderstood kyle's "gets tossed" comment to mean "apple\n" will not be deleted if the regex is '^apple$'" - i.e., the deletion string will get tossed. From his comment and yours, it seems he meant it the other way - i.e., the content of "apple\n" "gets tossed" if the deletion string is "^apple$" - which is, of course, true. My mistake.
