if have a text file I am parsing. I am using split to break the line into an
array.
I want to then use splice to pick and choose the fields that I one.

so for example i have a string.
mystring = '1,2,3,4,5,6'

then i want to get an array but I only want the 2 field and the last three
fields.
myarray = mystring.split(',').splice(1,3..5)

This breaks.

I can get the range 3..5 or i get the element splice(1).

Am I missing something?

Do i just build the array as normal and then make a new array from the
elements I need?

Paul
