Delete selected records

Question

I am using a row selector in a table, and am selecting table entries into an array created with the default checkbox name gcb[]. Let's say the underlying table is tablex

Each entry in the gcb[] array is the aid of a record in the table, so there may be any number of entries in the array, from none to many. An example array might be, where 4 entries have been selected in the form table:

 [gcb] => Array
        (
            [0] => 4
            [1] => 9
            [2] => 10
            [3] => 11
        )

Now I'd like to delete the 4 (in this case) records from tablex, so I am using a Delete action. Does anybody know please how to set up the WHERE clause to do something like this logic?

For each value in gcb[]
DELETE * from tablex WHERE aid = val(gcb[]);

I think I should be using the IN operator, but have no idea how to set the value of the DELETE condition.

Many thanks in advance for any offers on this!

{data:gcb} will return the list of aids, you can use that in a where condition in the "Delete Data" action.
