WR DELETE SELECTION


WR DELETE SELECTION ( area )

Parameter	Type	Description
area	Longint	4D Write area

Description

The WR DELETE SELECTION command allows you to delete the current text selection from the 4D Write area referenced by area.

Using the following statement will have the same effect as using the WR DELETE SELECTION command: WR EXECUTE command (area; wr cmd clear ).

Note: The value of the wr cmd clear constant is 6.

If there is no current selection, the command has no effect, unlike the WR BACKSPACE command that would delete the character located before the cursor.

Example

You want to delete all soft hyphens in your document:

  `Counting number of occurrences

 HyphenNb:=WR Count(Area;wr nb soft hyphens)

 For($i;1;HyphenNb)

  `Selecting each time the first soft hyphen is found

    WR SELECT(Area;9;1)

  `Deleting it

    WR DELETE SELECTION(Area)

 End for
