Type:
deleteAll: maskString -> ()
Call syntax:
deleteAll(mask)
Description:
deleteAll deletes all objects with names matching the
pattern-string mask from the current workspace.
mask may contain wildcard symbols "*", which match arbitrary
strings.
Attention!
There is no function to undelete objects, so objects
which are deleted from the workspace are generally lost forever!
To avoid unintended loss of data, it is a good idea to
use statAll before
deleteAll to check which objects
will actually be deleted.
Error conditions:
An error condition occurs, if no object named anObject can be found in the current workspace.
Example:
> test := FALSE
> text := "abc"
> n := 42
> deleteAll("t*")
Deleting objects t*:
test
text
