delete elements from an array...

[OnTheEdge]

I'm having a problem getting this to work. I'm currently doing this using a
file instead of an array, but it is too slow. Here's what I'm trying to do:

For each record in my main array (array1), I want to get a match out of
array2 and append it to the array1 record. After I get the match, I want to
delete that record from array2.

For example, array2 looks something like this:
Ohio Columbus
Ohio Cleveland
Texas Dallas
Texas Austin

I want to find the first occurrence of 'Ohio' and append Ohio and Columbus
to the array1 record. Then I want to remove the 'Ohio Columbus' record from
the array so I don't pick it up the next time I search on Ohio.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
