Problem with _ArrayDelete()

Local $aArray_Base[25][4]
For $i = 0 To 24
    For $j = 0 To 3
        $aArray_Base[$i][$j] = $i & "-" & $j
    Next
Next

...

; 1D array
$aArray = $aArray_Base
Local $aDel[4] = [3, 5, 11, 13]                      ;Test 1 Default<--- it fails to Delete row 3
Local $aDel[5] = [0, 3, 5, 11, 13]                   ;Test 2 Workaround<--- it fails to Delete row 0, 5, 11 & 13
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, "BEFORE deletion")
_ArrayDelete($aArray, $aDel)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, "RANGE ARRAY deleted")

here is a section of the sample code copied from the link above, where it fails to delete 1st indicated row in $vRange. In this case it fails to delete indicated row #3 in $vRange [3, 5, 11, 13] it does delete the following row #5, 11 and 13 fine. Tested with my data and that is how i found out the hard way - this messed up my project the past couple of weeks without realizing it until now. a simple single row 3 in $vRange _ArrayDelete($aArray, 3) wihout a problem

because what demonstrated above skips the 1st row in  $vRange , I thought I could get away with a workaround by insert a row #0 in $vRange as [0, 3, 5, 11, 13], with an understand that I would skip 1st row in $vRange but no. It does skip 1st row in $vRange and delete row #3 in $vRange but fail to delete the following rows 5, 11 & 13

any thoughts?

Not a bug - PC-chair interface problem!

$vRange can also be a 1D array listing all rows to be deleted with the count in the [0] element

thanks, saw that but somehow it didn't click. without realizing that, my workaround almost work except, it simply need the correct count inserted (:

Now I wish _ArrayFindAll() returns w/count in 1st element b/c that's what i'm relying on.

thanks again

Just use _ArrayInsert to add ubound in cell 0.

thanks 9, just complaining

the helpfile also states

$vRange can be a string containing the rows which are to be deleted. It can be a single number or a range ... multiple items are separated by a semi-colon (;)

so:

local $aArray[6] = [1,2,3,2,5,2]
$aDel = _ArrayFindAll($aArray , 2)
_ArrayDelete($aArray , _ArrayToString($aDel , ";"))
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

or reduced

local $aArray[6] = [1,2,3,2,5,2]
_ArrayDelete($aArray , _ArrayToString(_ArrayFindAll($aArray , 2) , ";"))
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

_ArrayDelete($aArray , _ArrayToString(_ArrayFindAll($aArray , 2) , ";"))

cool, thanks
