llDeleteSubList

Summary

Function: list llDeleteSubList( list src, integer start, integer end );

0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Returns a list that is the src list with the slice from start to end removed.

• list	src
• integer	start	–	start indexstart index
• integer	end	–	end indexend index

start & end support negative indexes.

Specification

Index	Positive	Negative
First	0	-length
Last	length - 1	-1

Indexes

• Positive indexes count from the beginning, the first item being indexed as 0, the last as (length - 1).

• Negative indexes count from the far end, the first item being indexed as -length, the last as -1.

Caveats

• If either start or end are out of bounds the script continues to execute without an error message.
• start & end will form an exclusion range when start is past end (Approximately: start > end).

Ranges & Indexes

The easiest way to explain how ranges work is to make all indexes positive. Negative indexes are just a way of counting from the tail end instead of the beginning, all negative indexes have a corresponding equivalent positive index (assuming they are in range). Positive indexes past length (after the last index), or negative indexes past the beginning (before the first index) are valid and the effects are predictable and reliable: the entries are treated as if they were there but were removed just before output.

• If start <= end then the range operated on starts at start and ends at end. [start, end]
• Exclusion range: If start > end then the range operated on starts at 0 and goes to end and then starts again at start and goes to -1. [0, end] + [start, -1]
  • If end is a negative index past the beginning, then the operating range would be [start, -1].
  • If end is a positive index past the end, then the operating range would be [0, end].
  • If both start and end are out of bounds then the function would have no operating range (effectively inverting what the function is supposed to do).
