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

positionposition at which to delete text
nCharsnumber of characters to delete

Returns

The number of characters deleted.
