It depends. If you want to remove an element based on its contents then use grep: @array = grep $_ ne 'something', @array; @array = grep !/something/, @array; If you want to remove an element and you know its location in the array then use splice: splice @array, 15, 1; # remove 1 element at 16th position from the beginning splice @array, -5, 2; # remove 2 elements at 5th and 4th position from the end John -- use Perl; program fulfillment -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
