Hey everyone..I could really use some help with removing a specific item from an array. Here is what I have so far..
Right now I have two arrays. The first array holds a list of domain names that will be checked to see if they are available for registration. If one or more of those domains is available then they will be put into a second array and sent over to get registered. Once the domains in the second array are successfully registered I want to remove them from the first array so they are not checked for availability again (since I've just registered them)..
My current code is suppose to copy the main array (with all domains) to a temporary array - remove the registered domain(s) from the second array and then copy that temporary array (now with removed elements) back over to the main array so it can start from the beginning. The problem is, it doesn't actually remove the correct elements..It simply removes the last domain in the array. What this means, is that if I check a list of 5 domains and the domain in position 3 gets registered - it won't remove it from the array. Instead, the domain in the last position will be removed.

VB.NET:
Public Sub ArrayCompare()
Dim tmpcnt As Integer
Dim cnt1 As Integer
Dim cnt3 As Integer
Dim cnt4 As Integer
cnt1 = 0
cnt3 = 0
cnt4 = 0
'Find the location of the registered domains in the main array
tmpcnt = registeredArray.Length
While cnt3 <= mainArray.Length - 1
'here it checks the mainArray to see if it containts the registeredArray domain
While cnt4 <= availablecnt
If InStr(mainArray(cnt3), registeredArray(cnt4)) = 0 Then
'do nothing
ElseIf InStr(mainArray(cnt3), registeredArray(cnt4)) > 0 Then
TempArray1 = mainArray
RemoveItem2()
mainArray = TempArray1
If tmpcnt = 1 Then
Exit Sub
End If
Else
txtLog.AppendText("Error With ArrayCompare: " & registeredArray(cnt4) & vbCrLf)
End If
cnt4 = cnt4 + 1
End While
cnt4 = 0
cnt3 = cnt3 + 1
End While
ReDim Preserve mainArray(UBound(mainArray) - 1)
End Sub
and
VB.NET:
Public Sub RemoveItem2()
Dim TempDelElement As String
For Me.cnt2 = 0 To DeleteArray.Length - 1
TempDelElement = DeleteArray(cnt2)
cnt1 = 0
While cnt1 < TempArray1.Length - 1
If TempDelElement = TempArray1(cnt1) Then
RemoveElement()
End If
cnt1 = cnt1 + 1
End While
Next
End Sub
and
VB.NET:
Public Sub RemoveElement()
Dim I As Integer
For I = cnt1 To UBound(TempArray1) - 1
TempArray1(I) = TempArray1(I + 1)
Next I
End Sub
