Well, I'll try to explain myself properly. I'm asking if it's possible to :

Lets say I got this array. (example: i'm not really doing this).

new PlayerStuff[MAX_PLAYERS]

PlayerStuff[0] = "Money";
PlayerStuff[1] = "Weapons";
PlayerStuff[3] = "Drugs";
PlayerStuff[4] = "Other";
etc...

Now, I want for example "weapons" removed, but I want this as result :

PlayerStuff[0] = "Money";
PlayerStuff[1] = "Drugs";
PlayerStuff[3] = "Other";
etc..

So, I actually want to delete the content of the array-row, and reduce the index of the follow element rows by 1.

Well if this is possible (For all the stuff in my array, there is a txt file, I need that txt file removed (dini_remove) but, besides that, i need the following txt names also reduced by 1.) names of the txt files are just like 1,2,3,4 etc.

Sorry, I couldn't really explain myself properly, I hope you get the idea. Thanks for any feedback.

This is not possible in Pawn. At least not in an easy way. Furthermore, renaming a file means copying all contents of the old file to a new file with the designated name and deleting the old file afterwards.

And whats the not simple way then?

1. By hand
2. Delete element, loop through all remaining elements, change their index and rename their filename to corresponding index.

Means you 'll need an algorithm to copy the contents of index x to index x-1. However, you cannot actually decrease an array's total size, since it's set statically at compile time.

So, basicly, this is impossible?

pawn Code:

new Sacrifice[4][4] = {
    "Yay",
    "Op",
    "Is",
    "Yay"
};

//Blargh. Let's kill OP
new target = 1;
Sacrifice[target][0] = EOS;
for(new i = target + 1; i < sizeof Sacrifice; ++i) {
    if(Sacrifice[i][0] == EOS) continue;
    strcat(Sacrifice[i-1], Sacrifice[i]);
    Sacrifice[i][0] = EOS;
}

Add additional file renaming, and done

You can use the CSTL plugin for example - it provides you with vectors.
