Delete a column rather than a row using Array.remove(?).

[Heezea]

How can I delete a column from an array? Array.Remove(5) removes the 5th row with no problem, but how can I remove the 5th column? I haven't set the array up as key-value pairs, but just as a multidimensional simple array with several columns and several rows.

I can't find the answer to this anywhere on the forums or the help documentation.

I've tried:

Code: Select all

a.Remove(a.1.5, a.MaxIndex().5)
a.Remove(a.1.5)
a.Remove(a[1, 5], a[a.MaxIndex(), 5])

I don't know what else to try. Can anyone help please?

a.1.Remove(5)

You'll have to loop through your rows and delete the individual column value

Something like this?

Code: Select all

test := [[1,2],[1,2]]
removeColumn(test, 1)
MsgBox % test[1][1] ;shows 2
MsgBox % test[2][2] ;shows "" because there is no element there anymore
ExitApp
;This function modifies the original array!
;@arr 
;  the Array to modify
;@column
;  The column index to remove
removeColumn(arr, column)
{
   loop, % arr.maxIndex()
  { 
    arr[A_index].remove(column)
  }
  return
}
