I've declared my array, example: global vArray = #()

So now I can append to my array, but how can I delete a value? Kill, Free, etc.

Thanks!

Hi,

Use deleteItem array index

Hi,

You can use a combination of findItem and deleteItem methods like this :

exampleArray = #(4,2,8,3)

print "Before delete:"
print exampleArray

-- Search for item index in array
itemIdx = findItem exampleArray 8

-- If the index returned is not zero
-- The value was found
if itemIdx != 0 then
(
deleteItem exampleArray itemIdx
)

print "After delete:"
print exampleArray

findItem method works also with strings, Point3s, floats etc.

Ok, thanks for that...
This findItem method is the most efficient algorythm?

Yes it is. findItem performs a simple "==" comparison.
