# This script makes it easier to handle relative neural connections in f1 genotypes when adding/deleting neurons.
# Usage:
#   perl del_neuro.pl <neuron_number> <f1_genotype>
# If not provided, the <f1_genotype> will be read from stdin.
# <neuron_number> is 1-based.

# TODO: handle bounds (1..N) of <neuron_number> and display a warning when exceeded
# FIXME: deleting does not work well now! see for example perl del_neuro.pl 2 X[N,1:1][N][N,-1:1]
# TODO: test thoroughly
