Remove nTh record from array using loop : <p>I'm writing a program that reads a .csv file, and then loops through it removing every 10th record it encounters before outputting it.</p>

<p>I've been stuck on what I believe is a syntax issue for a while now and just can't seem to nail it. Anyone mind having a look? </p>

<pre><code>lines = []
i = 0

elements = []
element2 = []
output = []

file = File.open("./properties.csv", "r")

while (line = file.gets)
    i += 1
  # use split to break array up using commas
    arr = line.split(',')
    elements.push({ id: arr[0], streetAddress: arr[1], town: arr[2], valuationDate: arr[3], value: arr[4] })
end

file.close

# filter out blanks and nill rows
x = elements.select { |elements| elements[:id].to_i &gt;= 0.1}

# Loop to remove every 10th record
e = 0 
d = 1

loop do x.length
    if e == (10 * d)
        d ++ 
        e ++
    else
        x = elements.select[e]
        e ++
end

puts x

puts "#{x.length} house in list, #{d} records skipped."
