a_user	Posted - 08/13/1998 : 7:44:00 PM The menu item 'Delete' in the Edit Menu is a quite powerful tool. It not only deletes the contents of the selected cells, but also reduces the length of the coloumn. If one deletes some cells in the middle of a coloumn, the rest of the coloumn is moved upwards. But how can I use this tool in a script? It is not difficult to delete the contents of one or more cells, but if I want to move the rest of coloumn upwards I have to write a little copy-loop. Does anybody know a better solution?

a_user	Posted - 08/13/1998 : 7:46:00 PM Response This particular menu item does not have a script command. However, by using script, one can invoke the menu command. Select the cell(s) that you want to delete, either manually, or using script. For example: worksheet -s 1 3 1 5; /* Select rows 3 to 5 in column 1 / then invoke the menu command domenu 881; / Call the Delete menu by its ID number */ Note that using IDs is not recommended for future-compatible code, since Origin's menu IDs may change at some future point.
