Strange hang

Whoops! Sorry I didn't get that from the dictionary. I got it from the Livecode Lessons site. 

Deleting an Element From an Array

To delete an element from an array we simply use the delete variable command as demonstrated below:

 

function GetExampleArrayKeys

    local tArray

    put "a" into tArray["1"]
    put "b" into tArray["2"]
    put "c" into tArray["d"]

    delete variable tArray["2"]

    return (the keys of tArray)

end GetExampleArrayKeys
