delete the first or second element from array

[linvin001]

im trying to sort the image array into slideshow with 4 images display everytime in a loop. when i choose the multiple images(around 12), the first element in the array is the path, so the slideshow would have a black one. how can I separate the path and assign the image into new array.

here is what i did so far, but not working

#include <Array.au3>

Global $aFiles = FileOpenDialog("select images", @WindowsDir & "\", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp;*.png;*.gif)", 1 + 4)
Local $arr = StringSplit($aFiles, "|")
_ArrayDisplay($arr)
for $i=1 to UBound($arr)-1
   $arr[1]=$imagedir
   $narr[$i]=$arr[$i]
next

_ArrayDisplay($arr) looks like 

          col 0

row0   13

row1   c:userspics

row2   1.jpg

row3   2.jpg

...

etc

Thanks

I am not 100% sure what you are trying to do but it seems like when you select files from the file open dialog they are all images and you want the first element to be the file path.  Everything before the for loop does that.   It also sounds like the the path is the problem for you because it is not an image so it shows a black background.  If that is the problem you don't need to delete anything ... just start your slideshow at $arr[2]. 

for $i=2 to UBound($arr)-1

Does that make sense?

Otherwise, if you wanted to delete it you could do this:

#include <Array.au3>
Global $aFiles = FileOpenDialog("select images", @WindowsDir & "\", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp;*.png;*.gif)", 1 + 4)
Local $arr = StringSplit($aFiles, "|")
_ArrayDisplay($arr)
_ArrayDelete($arr,1); deletes index 1 element from array with directory
_ArrayDisplay($arr)

thanks. The path is the problem, I'm trying to switch between slideshow and browsers, so I need to make the image into infinite loop with only 5 or 6 image every time.

Like I said, you can zap the path from the array or just run the loop from the second element to the last element of the array (ignoring the path by skipping over it).  Either should work.
