Splicing two arrays together

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Splicing two arrays together

So what I'd really like to be able to do is splice two arrays together with an easy command (guess I'll have to make one) so that I can do this sort of thing to easiy remove an array slot and shuffle the other values up:

Local a[3]
a[0] = 1
a[1] = 2
a[2] = 3

a = a[0..1] + a[1..3]


of course the code above won't compile, but I'd love to end up with an array 2 slots long with values of 1 in slot 0 and 3 in slot 1.

Do you mean array concatentation or array insert/remove ?

both thanks Tony. Actually mine was for strings and I just wrote a function that removes a range of values from a string array. I'll post it when I've fixed it. I just found out that slices are 1-based not zero-based!!

here it is:

Function ccRemoveStringArraySlots:String[](array$[], StartSlot%, EndSlot%)
	'Slots passed in should be zero-based.
	'Smaller array is returned.
	Local temp$[] = array[0..StartSlot] 'first get the first chunk (note that array slicing is 1-based)
	'Grow temp by the correct size.
	temp = temp[0..(Len(temp)+(Len(array)-endslot))-1]
	
	'Now loop through the remainder of the array
	Local addto = StartSlot
	For Local i=EndSlot+1 To Len(array)-1
		temp$[addto] = array[i]
		addto:+1
	Next	
	
	Return temp
End Function


Now I can write a similar concatenation function although I'm not sure I need it any longer.

For strings or an array containing strings?
For strings can't you use mid$?
For array of strings isn't it the same concatentation code?

An array of strings, yeah the int code from the link would work, thanks. Yeah I've known about Mid$ since I first made a scrolling message at the age of 8 on a Spectrum ;-p

fyi: strings have full slicing capability... this works just fine.
Local s:String = "12345"
s = s[..1] + s[2..]
Print s

imo, nicer than mid
