deleting array element

[muks]

Hi,

    I am getting an array of 100 elements and i need to delete the the element if it contains 255.And most importantly the next element should be placed in its place.So if i get 30 255s then my output array should get reduced to 70.I tried search 1d array but it is returning only the index of first element containing 255.Please help!!!

Hi muks,

use a for loop and build a new array.

i need to handle 1500000 data. Some way to optimize it?

Hi muks,

ok, but to delete from an array in a loop is not the best alternative. How many entries do you want to remove?

I need to remove all the entries having 255 as its value no matter how many times it occurs.

Hi muks,

is 255 the highest value in your array? Do you need your array sorted?

Hi muks,

see the attached example to see the difference between delete from array and the other method.

Hi,

   First of all thanx a lot for your effort.May be i didnt convey what i want properly.The value in my array is going to change randomly.I want to remove the index containing the 255 value alone.I have tried doing that.Please have a look.

Hi muks,

i think i understand what you mean, but i have to create a test array to work with. Attached you can see another way to delete the 255 without using a loop.

Thanx a ton mike.Also can you tell me if i want to remove values from 255 to 200 how i can go abt that.Also do u mean to say we cannot do the same thing directly using numeric functions.I would have got stuck trying this without u suggesting the string functions.

Thanx a lot mike
