If count is longer than the string, the remainder of the string will be removed.


What does this mean?
Can I use this to delete the characters from the end of the string?
Please share an example.

Thank you.

If count is larger than the string length, the characters from index until the end of the string get deleted. 

string str$ = "this is a test";
i=str.Delete(5, 16); 
str$=;  // this
