Removing parts of an Array

[gnosis3d]

Not new to AutoIt, but new to arrays...

I am doing an FTP file list via array. This is outputted to a GUI List. However, I only want to display certain files in this list (basically, only lines w/ particular file extensions).

I am not fully understanding how to actually REMOVE lines, or the opposite... pull particular lines OUT of the array and put them to a new array.

Reference material would be nice. I can't find anything thusfar that fits this description (although the Search Forums brings up waaaay too much).

This is what I've found in the forums and modified for my own usage:

$ListPDF = _FTPFilesListToArray($Conn,2)
    If (Not IsArray($ListPDF)) Or (@error = 1) Then
        sleep(2)
        Return
    EndIf
    For $y = 1 To $ListPDF[0]
        GUICtrlSetData($inprogressGUIListPDF, $ListPDF[$y] & "|", 1)

The $ListPDF is the array. How would I remove lines based on, for instance, ".jpg" or ".iso"? Again, the opposite would work as well. Extracting just ".pdf" extensions to a new array to output to the GUI List.

Thanks in advance.

If StringRight($ListPDF[$y], 4) = '.pdf' Then GUICtrlSetData($inprogressGUIListPDF, $ListPDF[$y] & "|", 1)

1.) I love you.

2.) See that's what gets me. Are Strings and Arrays different or not?

It works. You da man. "Woot."

Depending on the programming language Strings can be arrays.

Using Pascal, a string is really just an array of characters.

Not sure how its represented in Autoit though.
