Deleting dataGrid columns via code

[Phil Davis]

Hey, didn't we do this same dance a couple of weeks ago?

put the dgText of the DG into tText
split tText by column
delete variable tText[z]
delete variable tText[y]
delete variable tText[x]
combine tText by column
set the dgText of DG to tText

If this approach produces empty columns x,y,z then you could do this:

put the dgText of the DG into tText
split tText by column
delete variable tText[z]
delete variable tText[y]
delete variable tText[x]
put the keys of tText into tKeyList
sort items of tKeyList numeric
put x,y,z into tRejects
repeat for each item x in tKeyList
if x is among the items of tRejects then next repeat
     add 1 to newX
     put put tText[x] into tNewText[newX]
end repeat
combine tNewText by column
set the dgText of DG to tNewText
