Jolly good idea. 😊

For the OPs question though I would have to ask. Why does the list have
null strings to begin with?

Was it created using Split() ? and if yes do they know of the option to
remove null strings?

Or if created another way would it not be better to not add null strings to
begin with?


Although it was a good question and good to learn object arrays can be
inherited 😎
