Re: Deleteing array elements

@a = ['a','b','c','d'];

That's likely not "an array" in the sense you want. That's just an array with a single element that is a reference to another array with four elements. More likely, you want an array of four elements for a start:

@a = ('a','b','c','d');

Then you want to read splice and then use it.

Once you've got your array set up as described by Corion, use splice `my @a=('a','b','c','d'); splice @a, 2, 1; print join ",", @a;` [download] -- Linux, perl, punk rock, cider: charlieharvey.org.uk.	[reply] [d/l]

I prefer to write `splice @a, 2, 1, ();` it doesn't do anything different, but it makes things clear as well as making things parallel with `substr` (`substr` and `splice` act differently with three arguments, but they act the same with four). Am I the only one?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
