delete for arrays has been there for a while now--at least since5.002, and I think earlier too. Note that deleting an element doesn'tmodify other elements' indexes, so if you delete stuff from the middleyou get undefined cells instead. If you need to shift up stuff you canuse split, but that's slow! On 5/24/07, Yossi Itzkovich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:>> Thanks, the man page seems promising.
