jQuery removing checkboxes where index is between two values

Question

I have the following jQuery code:

Working code

$( '.spanspec:gt(49)' ).remove();

This removes all checkboxes in my code with the class spanspec where the index is greater than 49. Works fine.

Non-working code

$( '.spanspec:between(41, 46)' ).remove();

What I would like to achieve is to remove multiple checkboxes that have an index between two values. I have tried the above but this does not work.

Please note that I am familiar with the use of :gt :lt :eq but using these in this instance does deliver the desired result.

Any help, advice or feedback would be appreciated.

Use .slice():

$('.spanspec').slice(41,46).remove();

Here's a smaller, generic jsFiddle example. Note that the range in slice() is zero based, and will go up until (but not including) the index of the second parameter.

I think it should do the work

$('.spanspec:gt(41):lt(46)').remove();

also you can try something like:

$('.spanspec').slice(41, 46).remove();
