AppleScript and Numbers: Deleting Tables

Deleting Tables

The table class can be the target of the delete command.

delete v : Delete an object.

delete specifier : The object(s) to delete.

The good use of the delete command is in conjunction with a whose clause to locate tables by examining the value of their properties, such as name.
