Remove Something from a Table by Value?

[cis.joshb]

Is there a function like
[lua]
table.RemoveValue(table table, string/integer/boolean value)
[/lua]
? For removing a value by its name.

No. He's asking about removing by value, not by key.

[lua]for k, v in pairs( tbl ) do
if v == value then
tbl[k] = nil
end
end[/lua]

That would work if he only wanted to remove only one of the specific value, I assumed he wanted to remove every element with the value.

Just one, actually, but thanks for the help. Its for an inventory script, so I can use what is returned by that in table.remove.
