Removing specific elements in an array [message #94531]

Hello everybody,
So I have an array that looks like this:
x = [4,5,17,18,30,38,50,51,70]

The goal is to get rid of the element that is only 1 unit larger than the previous one.
The ideal output should look like:
x = [4,17,30,38,50,70] (since 5,18, and 51 are deleted)

I have tried all sorts of loops but it is not working. Here's my own attempt.
y = [4,5,8,15,30,31,45,70]
y2 = [y,0]
for i = 0,6 do begin
if y2(i) ne 0 then begin
if y2(i+1) - y2(i) le 1 then begin
remove, i, y
endif
endif
endfor

Please help. I appreciate it.
