ArrayType DeleteItem in loop

Hi,



I had a problem with the Array Type DeleteItem method, not sure if I am not using it properly or if the TC documentation is incorrect?



Basically I had something like the JScript example at http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/31611/ :



function DeleteItem()

{

    // Specifies the property of the array type

    // to obtain information about

    var Prop = ODT.Classes.TestClass.MyProperty;

    // Iterates through the array items

    for (var i = 0; i < Prop.Count; i++)

       // Checks whether the current item's value is empty

       if ( Prop.Items(i).Value == aqObject.EmptyVariant )

         // Deletes the item

         Prop.DeleteItem(i);

}



I was getting index out of bounds exceptions, and after a bit of debugging seems with each delete the array shrinks, so the indices are out.



Instead, I think you need to do something like the following, to iterate through the array from the end, instead of the beginning!



function DeleteItem()

{

    // Specifies the property of the array type

    // to obtain information about

    var Prop = ODT.Classes.TestClass.MyProperty;

    // Iterates through the array items

    for (var i = Prop.Count-1; i>=0; i--)

       // Checks whether the current item's value is empty

       if ( Prop.Items(i).Value == aqObject.EmptyVariant )

         // Deletes the item

         Prop.DeleteItem(i);

}



At least, works for me :-)
