Hi,
How can I remove items from an arraylist inside a loop.
This is what I have but I get index out of range error.
Can you see why please?
C#
String[] fileNames = "aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd, ...";
ArrayList fileNamesArray = new ArrayList(fileNames);

//remove un-necessary files...
for (int i = 0; i < fileNamesArray.Count; i++)
{
	string strFileNameFTP = fileNamesArray[i].ToString().ToLower();

	if (strFileNameFTP == "aaa"
            	|| strFileNameFTP == "bbb"
                || strFileNameFTP == "ddd")
	{
	}
	else
	{
		fileNamesArray.RemoveAt(i);
	}
}

I suppose you intend
C#
String[] fileNames = {"aaa", "bbb", "ccc", "ddd", /*...,*/ "aaa"};



You should change from

to
C#
fileNamesArray.RemoveAt(i);
i--;

I am now using remove instead of removeat.
This no longer gives me the index out of range error as I used to get before.
BUT, I still have items in the arraylist which are not "aaa", "bbb", "ccc"
