JScript Syntax
oXMLDOMCharacterData.deleteData(offset, count);
Parameters

Example
The following script example creates an IXMLDOMComment object and uses the deleteData method to delete three characters of data starting after the third character in data for the IXMLDOMComment object.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
var comment;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.loadXML("<root><child/></root>");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
comment = xmlDoc.createComment("123456789");
WScript.Echo("Before deleting data: " + comment.xml);
comment.deleteData(3, 3);
WScript.Echo("After deleting data: " + comment.xml);}
Output
Before deleting data: <!--123456789>
After deleting data: <!--123789>
