System Unit
Deletes a substring from a string.
Declaration:
procedure Delete(var S: String; Index, Count: Longint);
Remarks:
S is a string-type variable.
Index and Count are integer-type expressions.
Delete deletes Count characters from S starting
at the Index position. If Index is larger than the length
of S, no characters are deleted. If Count specifies more
characters than remain starting after the Indexth position,
the remainder of the string is deleted.
Example:
Delete('AAABBBCCC' , 4, 3); // 'AAACCC'
Delete('123456789', 22, 5); // '123456789'
