oXMLDOMCharacterData.deleteData(offset, count)

Parameters

offset

Long integer value specifying the offset, in characters, at which to start deleting string data.

Example

The following VBScript example creates an XMLDOMComment object and uses the deleteData method to delete the last six characters:

Dim xmlDoc
Dim comment
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.load("c:\books.xml")
Set comment = xmlDoc.createComment("Hello World!")
comment.deleteData 6, 6
MsgBox (comment.xml)
