I have an object of arrays... The array can contain blanks, how can i create an ANgular filter to remove the blanks to determine the length of the array?

$scope.myData = {
    ["1", "1", "4", "4", "N", "4", "6", "8", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
    ["2", "2", "4", "6", "0", "6", "5", "4", "2", "", "8", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
    ["2", "3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
    ["3", "F", "D", "3", "5", "1", "D", "5", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
    ["1", "V", "4", "4", "3", "2", "1", "1", "4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
    ["4", "5", "8", "6", "4", "2", "8", "7", "1", "1", "2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
    ["4", "4", "R", "F", "D", "8", "4", "2", "4", "8", "7", "4", "8", "", "", "", "", "", ],
    ["D", "5", "F", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
    ["1", "4", "1", "3", "4", "B", "D", "G", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ]
}

HTML:

<div ng-repeat="data in myData">
    <div ng-show="(data | myFilter).length > 10">
        Show if length greater than 10
    </div>


    <div ng-show="(data | myFilter).length > 15">
        Show if length greater than 15
    </div>
</div>

Thanks

docs.angularjs.org/guide/filter has a section called "Creating custom filters". Read it, and implement your filter. –  JB Nizet 21 hours ago
    
And, just for the record, your object is invalid. –  GeoffreyB 21 hours ago

var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.filter('myFilter', function() {

  return function(input) {
    var newInput = [];
    angular.forEach(input, function(item) {
      console.log(item);
      if (item != "") newInput.push(item);
    });
    return newInput;
  };
});


app.controller('fCtrl', function($scope) {

  $scope.myData = [
    ["1", "1", "4", "4", "N", "4", "6", "8", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""],
    ["2", "2", "4", "6", "0", "6", "5", "4", "2", "", "8", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""],
    ["2", "3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""],
    ["3", "F", "D", "3", "5", "1", "D", "5", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""],
    ["1", "V", "4", "4", "3", "2", "1", "1", "4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""],
    ["4", "5", "8", "6", "4", "2", "8", "7", "1", "1", "2", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""],
    ["4", "4", "R", "F", "D", "8", "4", "2", "4", "8", "7", "4", "8", "", "", "", "", ""],
    ["D", "5", "F", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""],
    ["1", "4", "1", "3", "4", "B", "D", "G", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""]
  ];

      <div ng-show="(data | myFilter).length > 15">
        Show if length greater than 15

Use this link https://github.com/a8m/angular-filter

It gives you a number of ways to filter whatever you need in any format.It also has examples along with each filter.

At first I want to note, that your JS object is invalid.

Please, use the array of arrays instead of object of arrays in this case.

$scope.myData = [
   ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "" ],
   ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "" ],
   ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "" ],
   ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "" ]
];

And secondly i've created filter to remove the blank items.

.filter('removeBlankItems', function() {
    return function(inputArray) {
      var outArray = [];
      for (var i = 0; i < inputArray.length; i++) {
          if(inputArray[i].length != 0){
             outArray.push(inputArray[i]);     
          }
      }
      return outArray;
    };
})

This is JSFiddle with working example.
