remove items from 1-d array

[DRLV]

I get 'target' as the deleted portion fine. It's just that instead of it being deleted from the array I get an array where it is replaced by a second copy of the smallest member of 'used odors'.

The 'target' value must be identical to a value in the "used odors" array to be found by the "search 1D array" VI

They will be if the 'target' value cannot be found in the "used odors" array.

In that case an invalid value of -1 will be passed to "delete from array"

Interesting.  I didn't expect a -1 to not "delete from array".  It actually didn't put a smallest value in.  It put a zero at the front.  And the array isn't the same size, it is one element longer.

I just have an array of numbers for "used odors" > 3,4,5,6,7 and enter 77 as the target.

The "array w/ subset deleted" becomes 3,4,5,6,7 no deletion ... but no addition either ?

[GregFreeman]

If I understand what you want, you just want an array with the number equal to "target" removed? Am I correct in this understanding? If so, here are two ways to do it. I don't know if autoindexing does inplaceness in 2013, never bothered to benchmark again, but I think it was supposed to be optimized.

Simpler, put the Delete from Array in a case structure with the DFA in the true case.  In the false, just wire the array through.  Use a >=0 on the index from search from array to control the case structure.

And if your values are integers, stop using a double data type!

I still don't see how you get the results you say you are seeing.

ATTACH YOUR VI WITH DATA!

Indeed.  Bizarre !

[DRLV]

I think this has the data.

Anyhow, odors used = [3 5 9 14 1].

Target = 5.

the array with deleted element  is [1 3 9 14 1]

[NeilR · Accepted solution]

Your Index on the "used odor" control is set to 1 rather than 0 !!!!!!!!!!

This hides another value

[RavensFan]

Check your control.  It is [1 3 5 9 14 1].  You just have the index set to show element 1 instead of element 0,

It works just fine.  (But still make it integers instead of doubles.)
