On deleting items from a stringlist -

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

intial list A B C D E F G H

afer deleting items[0] 1,7 A B C D E F G

items[7] not longer exists!

• on deleting items from stringlist have to go in reverse order
• why? if you delete 1st item, then the 2nd becomes the first, 3rd becomes second etc.
• if there are 10 items in the list (0..9) and you wanted to delete the 1st and last then
• after deleting the 1st, the last item is now in position 8
• at least when done in reverse order you can preserve order of items not processed
• if you did want to process in other then you would need some sort of deleted flag
• and if on saving might want to have some sort of compacting type function to remove those
• items marked for deletion.
