Delete columns... How?

[JB]

I am sure someone else
can do it better but this works.

on mouseUp
   put fld id 1056 into pData
   set the itemdel to tab
   split pData by column
     put pData[4] into tType
     put pData[3] into tSize
     put "size = empty" into tSize
     put pData[2] into tModDate
     put empty into tModDate —THIS COLUMN DELETED
     put pData[1] into tName
     put tModDate into pData[3]
     put tType into pData[1]
     put tSize into pData[4]
   put tName into pData[2]
   
   combine pData by column
   put pData into fld id 1056
end mouseUp
