Working with 2d arrays

[TrashBoat]

Im trying to iterate through a 2d array created by 

ProcessList()

function that returns a 2d array containing names and pid's, i wanted to filter through the names and delete entries that have "svchost.exe" and this is how i did it

Func _Sanitize($array)
    For $x = 1 To UBound($array) - 1
          ConsoleWrite($array[$x][0] & @CRLF)
        If $array[$x][0] == "svchost.exe" Then
            _ArrayDelete($array, $x)
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc   ;==>_Sanitize

And i get this error message

Quote

Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
If $array[$x][0] == "svchost.exe" Then

If ^ ERROR

What is wrong?

You need to go backwards in your loop not forward using Step - 1, although you could also just use:

#include <Array.au3>
Local $aProcesses = ProcessList("svchost.exe")
_ArrayDisplay($aProcesses)

If you're going to delete elements of an array in a loop, you have to run the loop in reverse. Instead of

For $x = 1 To UBound($array) - 1

Use this

For $x = UBound($array) - 1  To 1 Step - 1

Oh it makes sense, i get it now because i am deleting entries my array is getting smaller and the for loop will fail because it wont have those entries at the bottom anymore. Thanks for the help.

What @Subz and @BrewManNH said, and change this

If $array[$x][0] == "svchost.exe" Then ; AutoIT uses only single "=" for "equals"

;change it to this
If $array[$x][0] = "svchost.exe" Then

@Dionysis Yeah im learning c++ and got that habit from there, but it seems to work anyway.
