Delete

The Delete function deletes the number of characters specified by iCount, starting at the position given by iFrom.

The first character in a string is position 1.

To delete just a single character, set iCount to 1.

If iFrom is larger than the length of the string or less than 1, no characters are deleted.

If iCount is equal to or less than zero (0), then no characters are deleted.

If iCount specifies more characters than are remaining in the string, Delete deletes all those remaining characters.

Declaration: procedure Delete(var s: string; iFrom, iCount: Integer);

A simple example.

procedure OnMapEvent(var Value:Variant);
var
  mystring : string;
begin
  mystring := 'abcdef';
  Delete(mystring,2,3);        // mystring becomes 'aef'
end;
