There is another important difference between splice and substr that should be mentioned. If you call 
substr EXPR,OFFSET,LENGTH
substr EXPR,OFFSET

[download]
This will not erase anything in the string while if you use 
splice ARRAY,OFFSET,LENGTH
splice ARRAY,OFFSET

[download]
You will erase elements from the array

    Thanks for all the responses.
    I am currently using the splice command in my script.
    It seems it is leaving blank data in row $i. When I view my table after using the splice command, the row $i data is replaced with blank data rather than being completely removed.
    I will try the delete function also to see if it works.
