use strict;
my @array=qw(a b c d e f g h);
splice(@array,1,1);
print "new list = @array";
will return:
a c d e f g h
In your mesasge you say "I know I want to remove the second value, $array[2].
How should I do this?.." but second value has [1] and not [2] :-)
You can remove multiple elements.. use splice(@array,2,3) to remove the 3rd 4th
and 5th elements..(3 elements from the [2]), and so on.
You can also assign the removed values.. @removed = splice(@array,2,3); it will
store in @removed values "c" "d" and "e".
You can replace values..
my @new_arr = (1,2,3,4,5); splice(@array,2,3,@new_arr); print @arr;
will return: a b 1 2 3 4 5 f g h
Hope this helps
