remove number from array with multiple instances

[sakura_chan 9]

if I have an array like

_array = [1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4];

how can I remove just one of the numbers? I would like it to return

_array == [2,3,4,1,2,3,4];

basically I am dealing with editor objects that have the format: objectnumber: modelname.p3d

So it might be 122235: toiletbox_f.p3d

I need to remove the numbered part so I just delete everything up until the space which is easy but if there is a "3" in the object number then it ends up as "toiletbox_f.pd"

arrayPop function I think? Nope, BIS_fnc_arrayPop would be exactly opposite, drops the last value not the first. BIS_fnc_arrayFindDeep might work, search for and find the first element it finds that match?

Perhaps use arrayFindDeep to locate the space, then BIS_fnc_subSelect to select the rest of it?

Yeah, so this works but it's horrid. :)

bob = player nearobjects 10; 
harry = toArray str(bob select 1); 
zone = [harry, 32] call BIS_fnc_arrayFindDeep; 
nancy = [harry, zone select 0] call BIS_fnc_subSelect; 
hint tostring nancy;

That hints "honeybee.p3d". :) Actually, maybe not, it's being silly now, I think 104 must not be space. It's not! 32 is, that works now.
