db.delete

Syntax db.delete (f, path)
Params f is a filespec or path string of a Frontier object database file that has been opened with db.open.

path is a valid UserTalk address string, indicating the location in the database where you want to delete information.
Action Deletes the value in the location indicated by path.
Returns True
Examples db.delete ("System:Frontier:old.root", "examples.age")

   » true

db.delete ("System:Frontier:old.root", "examples.[\"doesn't exist"]")

   » error: "Can't delete "doesn't exist" because it hasn't been defined."
Notes The database file specified in the parameter "f" must be opened using db.open before calling this verb.

path can be a full or partial database address; the paths table of the target database is used to interpret it.

db.delete (f, path) is equivalent to delete (@path^) when referring to Frontier's current object database.

To save changes you make to a database, you must call db.save before db.close.
