Re: Filling an array from the first occurrence on down

Dennis,

In his original post, Alan showed an example of how there might be a "hole"
in the middle:

Hopefully I explained it correctly, here is an example

1
2 data 1
3
4
5 data here
6 f=data 2

Becomes

1 data 1
2 data here
3 f=data 2
4
5
6

NOTE - I don't want the information sorted, just moved up

Hmmm.... not sure what value there is in moving the elements one at a time
as opposed to en masse. Unless you're thinking there may be a "hole" in
the
middle and you need to compress it out. But a routine like that described
could be used to ensure that that doesn't happen.

I'm in the midst of other activities, but before this night is through, I
will try to put together an understandable sample to show the value of this
sort of logic, and in the process show you how it could be used to compress
out the blanks, should they be introduced. 'Cuz I think it's worth it. :)
