1. For a normal variable, just set it to a nullstring.
testing = %null
testing := ""
#VAR testing {}
2. Just reassign the value
#VAR TESTING NOTEST

Is it a regular variable with the text TEST and NOW in it, or a stringlist variable? IE:
testing = TEST and NOW ?
If this is the case, the best thing to do isset the variable to just NOW like this:
1.testing = NOW
2.#VAR testing {NOW}
If its a stringlist, IE:
testing = TEST|NOW
There are a number of ways to do it, but the easist would be:
1.#DELI testing TEST
2.#DELNITEM testing 1
The second one will remove the first value of the stringlist, you could change it to 2 and it would delete NOW.
There also a huge number of functions that do the same things, allowing for better composed scripting. You really should check the help files and learn the scripting language a bit. |
