如何从 Visual Basic 中的数组中删除每 5 个元素？

Question

I have an array of X elements, and let's say X = 50.

How do I remove every 5th element of the array?

Thus, the end result should be an array of only 40 elements left, since every 5th element was taken out....

Answer 1

The code below isn't tested but it should be pretty close, after the code has run all non divisible by 5 elements will be contained in array 'strSecond'.

UPDATE

Code below has now been tested -

Dim strFirst(49) As String
Dim strSecond() As String
Dim ArrCount As Integer

ArrCount = 0

For i = 1 To 50
    strFirst(i - 1) = i
Next

For i = 0 To 49
 If (i + 1) Mod 5 <> 0 Then
    ReDim Preserve strSecond(ArrCount)
    strSecond(ArrCount) = strFirst(i)
    ArrCount = ArrCount + 1
  End If
Next

For i = 0 To UBound(strSecond)
    Debug.Print strSecond(i)
Next

UPDATE II

This would work for a multi-dimensional array (only the upper bound of the last dimension in a multidimensional array can be changed when you use the Preserve keyword) -

Dim strFirst(1, 49) As String
Dim strSecond() As String
Dim ArrCount As Integer

ArrCount = 0

For i = 1 To 50
    strFirst(0, i - 1) = i
    strFirst(1, i - 1) = i
Next

For i = 0 To 49
 If (i + 1) Mod 5 <> 0 Then
    ReDim Preserve strSecond(1, ArrCount)
    'If you have more than two dimensions could write a loop to do this
    'For j = 0 To UBound(strFirst,1) etc
    strSecond(0, ArrCount) = strFirst(0, i)
    strSecond(1, ArrCount) = strFirst(1, i)
    ArrCount = ArrCount + 1
  End If
Next

For i = 0 To UBound(strSecond, 2)
    Debug.Print strSecond(0, i) + "-" + strSecond(1, i)
Next
