conditionally delete some elements from an array
 

I have an one-dimensional array that contains 11 elements. Now I only
need 3 elements and want to discard the rest from the array. So my
final array has only 3 elements. I need to code something like:
for i=1 to hbound(myarray)
if myarray ^in ('A, 'B', 'C') then delete
next

How to code it though? Thanks!

Easiest is to create a new array with the content that you require.

Or, if it is a dynamic array then you could move the items you want to
the first 3 elements and ReDim Preserve MyArray(1 To 3)
