the subject of "deleting elements from array questions" comes up pretty often, so i decided to write a subroutine that would handle the job once and for all. note that it will only remove elements from array questions, not array statements or other types of questions.
$ques = "how do i make an array spin around?";
$element = 4;
print delete_element($element, $ques), "\n";
sub delete_element {
my ($element, $question) = @_;
if($question =~ /array.*\?$/i) {
@elements = split(' ', $question);
$elements[$element] = '';
return join(' ', @elements);
}
else {
print "That is not an array question!\n";
return $question;
}
}
output:
how do i make array spin around?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
