When I split on the s I get:

1,2,3,4

now I can match the '3' say, but I'm having trouble removing it. This
is what I tried:

var stuRegEx = /[s]/;
var students = thisData.split(stuRegEx);
// run through, find the match and remove it
for(var t=0;t<=students.length; t++)
{
	if(students[t] == studentID.substring(1,2))
	{	// remove the value
		students[t] = null;
	}
}

students ends up being that 1,2,3,4 list (w/o the s's). That leaves
me with a null value in that array.

Now I try to rewrite the thing without the null position, adding the
s back in:

for(var q=0;q<=students.length; q++)
{
	if(students[q]){
	students[q] = "s" + students[q];
	thisDataField.value += students[q];
	}
}

I would think this works but it won't. Any ideas anyone?
