remove properties

• Command

  • The remove properties command takes the name of a property or a list of names and removes each of those properties from the target object if they are present. If a property list is given, its values are ignored but its keys are used as the list of properties to be removed.

  • Examples:

    set myObj to {A:1, B:2, C:3, D:4}
    remove property {B:765} from myObj
    put myObj --> {A:1, C:3, D:4}
    remove properties ["B","C"] from myObj
    put myObj --> (A:1, D:4)

  • Syntax: remove [property | {the} properties {of | in}] propertiesToRemove [of | in | from] propertyListVariable
