This will probably seem like an easy concept for some of you and I could surely do it, but I'd like to see a more reasonable approach than what I'd do in this situation.<p>
I have a word that I need to remove characters from. These characters come directly from an array @list. The thing is, IF a character from the array exists in the word, it should be removed from both the word and the array as to not be removed again.<p>
My first thought was breaking apart the word into an array of characters and foreach()'ing over them. I'd then use another foreach() over @list for comparing. <p>
This doesn't seem like a clean approach because I'd have to continually rebuild the @list each time a match is found and character is removed.<p>
I could keep the orginal word as a string and apply s/// for found matches. I feel this might be a slightly better approach.<p>
Can anyone show me what they would do in a situation like this?
