Bart,

Really an array?  Or a string you want to index by character?

Ahright ... I forgot the rapturous string transubstantiation step:

  array=(${=input_string})
  array[21,-1]=()

... and all is well.

I despair of ever understanding this stuff :-(
God knows what " =() " really does, and I'm smart enough to not even ask ;-)
