EntryBuffer.deleteText

uint deleteText(uint position, int nChars)

Deletes a sequence of characters from the buffer. n_chars characters are deleted starting at position. If n_chars is negative, then all characters until the end of the text are deleted.

If position or n_chars are out of bounds, then they are coerced to sane values.

Note that the positions are specified in characters, not bytes.

Parameters

`position`	position at which to delete text
`nChars`	number of characters to delete

Returns

The number of characters deleted.
