ADEL()

Delete an element form an array.

Syntax

      ADEL(<aArray>, <nPos>) --> aTarget

Arguments

<aArray> Name of array from which an element is to be removed.

<nPos> Subscript of the element to be removed.

Returns

<aTarget> an array pointer reference.

Description

This function deletes the element found at <nPos> subscript position in the array <aArray>. All elements in the array <aArray> below the given subscript position <nPos> will move up one position in the array. In other words, what was formerly the sixth subscript position will become the fifth subscript position. The length of the array <aArray> will remain unchanged, as the last element in the array will become a NIL data type.

Examples

      LOCAL aArray := { "Harbour", "is", "Power" }
      ADel( aArray, 2 ) // Result: aArray is { "Harbour", "Power" }
