Re: Deleting specific element in array in FOREACH loop

[hgolden]

Grep is god's gift to this situation. Check out grep. Basically, you can write a subroutine that takes the array element as an input and returns true or false, true if it should be included.

Then you write a version of  @newarray=grep {&subroutine($_)} @oldarray. The new array will only contain the elements that the subroutine returned true for.

Ahhh, I never thought about using a subroutine in the grep expresssion! That's really good info.
