WR DELETE SELECTION
version 6.5
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
