Delete()
FUNCTION: delete(<string>,<first>,<len>)
Returns <string>, but with <len> characters starting after the character at position <first> removed. In other words, this function copies <first> characters, skips <len> characters, and then copies the remainder of the string.
Example:
> say delete(abcdefgh, 3, 2)
You say, "abcfgh"
> say delete(Would you like coffee or perhaps tea?, 15, 18)
You say, "Would you like tea?"
