Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Using sed, awk or perl to remove substring of all lines except the first Post 302809335 by jacksolm on Sunday 19th of May 2013 12:10:04 PM

Now, I see the missing piece. I was missing the algorithm to remove an item from the middle of an array. In other words:

To delete an element from the middle of an array:

Code:
1. There is no need to do anything with the element deleted.
2. Iterate along the array from 1 after the deleted element, to the last element.
3. Copy each element into the location 1 before it.
4. Set the last element to null.

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

unset(n)						       Tcl Built-In Commands							  unset(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
unset - Delete variables SYNOPSIS
unset ?-nocomplain? ?--? ?name name name ...? _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This command removes one or more variables. Each name is a variable name, specified in any of the ways acceptable to the set command. If a name refers to an element of an array then that element is removed without affecting the rest of the array. If a name consists of an array name with no parenthesized index, then the entire array is deleted. The unset command returns an empty string as result. If -nocom- plain is specified as the first argument, any possible errors are suppressed. The option may not be abbreviated, in order to disambiguate it from possible variable names. The option -- indicates the end of the options, and should be used if you wish to remove a variable with the same name as any of the options. If an error occurs, any variables after the named one causing the error are not deleted. An error can occur when the named variable does not exist, or the name refers to an array element but the variable is a scalar, or the name refers to a variable in a non-existent namespace. EXAMPLE
Create an array containing a mapping from some numbers to their squares and remove the array elements for non-prime numbers: array set squares { 1 1 6 36 2 4 7 49 3 9 8 64 4 16 9 81 5 25 10 100 } puts "The squares are:" parray squares unset squares(1) squares(4) squares(6) unset squares(8) squares(9) squares(10) puts "The prime squares are:" parray squares SEE ALSO
