Deleting array elements containing "999.0"

[splee]

I have an array of 10 elements of DBL type. I would like to delete the element if it is of value 999.

For example the original array is [1.0   1.5   999   1.6   999   -6.9   0.0   999.0   4.7    -0.1] of size 10, the final array should be

[1.0   1.5   1.6   -6.9   0.0   4.7    -0.1] of size 7.

How to do this?

Hi,

How about this code?

Hi GPeter could you please post it as a vi file?
Thanks..

Just to be sure, my code was built using:

- While loop

- Search 1D array

- Equal?

- Case structure

- Delete from array

Br,

Peter

Sure.

Hi Peter,

did you notice your RubeGoldberg-construct already?

One (slightly) improvement:

- Keep in mind: Using "Delete from Array" isn't very efficient when it comes to big arrays and a lot of elements to delete.

- Keep in mind: You get trouble really fast when trying to compare float numbers for equality. There are a lot of threads on this topic.

- Keep in mind: Search1DArray has an index input. This could help speed up the shown snippet.

Hi GerdW,

I tested your code but it doesn't work.. or maybe I was wrong?

[GerdW]

Sorry, you have to swap TRUE and FALSE cases...

Try this.

Good luck

Ok both solutions work.. Thanks 🙂

But what's any flaw with GPeter solution?
