Jiří, please, remember that Valac includes that code for bootstrap reasons! Libgee is written in Vala. Vala compiler depends on libgee. Libgee's code is only copied inside the Vala compiler code in order to simplify the bootstrap process for packagers and distro maintainers. Copying code inside your application would just give you some more maintainance work to keep that in sync with the library. (Not to mention the plethora of reasons that made us use libraries...) Best regards, Didier. Actually, if you just need a single class and never expect to need anything else, you may just as well copy it and save yourself a lot of trouble. I agree that Vala's inclusion of Gee was not a good example here. ___ Vala-list mailing list Vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list

The problem is that GLib.List searches for items based on pointer
value, not the actual data. You have to either use remove_custom or
(a much better possibility) use the Gee collection library. It is
much easier to use from Vala then GLib collection classes, which
were never intended for use in such high-level language.
I meant find_custom() :) Anyway, Gee is the way to go.

Thanks, the Gee library worked like a charm although I would prefer to
not require another library for the application. If anyone is
interested, the updated code that uses Gee is
using Gee;
public static void main(string[] args)
{
ArrayListstring? al= new ArrayListstring(str_equal);
al.add(this);
al.add(is);
al.add(a);
al.add(test);
//remove the test
al.remove(test);
foreach(string word in al)
{
stdout.printf(%s , word );
}
stdout.printf(\n);
}

[Vala] removing an element from a list
Hello,
For an application that I am working on, I need to keep a collection of
strings and possibly remove a string from the collection. A list seems
to be a good way to manage the strings but when I try to remove() or
remove_all(), the list doesn't change. for example:
public static void main(string[] args)
{
Liststring list = new Liststring();
list.append(this);
list.append(is);
list.append(a);
list.append(test);
//remove test
list.remove_all(test);
foreach(string word in list)
{
stdout.printf(%s , word );
}
stdout.printf(\n);
}
The word test is not removed from the list. Am I doing something
wrong, and is there a better way to do what I need?
jezra
