A simple way to filter your data is to enumerate your array. As you read each value, check it for certain attributes using one or more IF statements. Test for exceptions, not inclusions. If any IF is true, set the value to a null string. Now your array only contains the values you want, mixed with blank values.

As you enumerate your array to process the data, you can simply enclose your logic in a simple IF test to verify the data is not blank.
