Strip directories from array of files

[NELyon]

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've asked a question. It's actually been a while since I did anything in Autoit.

Basically, I'm rewriting a bash script I wrote to upload images onto 4chan.

I have an array of files to upload, but I cannot figure out how to strip any array elements that lack either ".jpg", ".png", or ".gif" at the end.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the issue is that the recursive _FileListToArray-like function I am using adds the actual directories to the array along with the files themselves.

I've tried something along the lines of:

For $i=1 to UBound($aArray)-1
     If StringRight($aArray, 3) <> "jpg" or ...etc
          _ArrayDelete(Yadda yadda yadda)
     EndIf
Next

But there's obviously the issue of the upper bound of the array changing when you delete the elements.

I know, this is probably easy, but my brain is pretty fried right now and I can't figure it out.

I expect the problem is that you are going through the array in the wrong direction. Go from UBound -1 down to 1 and then the next element won't have been shifted because you deleted one.
