how to find a specific portal row and delete it with scripting

[fileman922]

i need to know if i can find a specific portal row and then delete it ,  only using a script. 

i have a field , in that field i have to put the item number of the portal and then a button to delete that item number from the portal . 

do i need to loop?

is that possible ?

thanks,

When you say "item number" do you mean the portal row number?

If so, you wouldn't need to loop, you'd just go straight to that row number.

If not, then yes, it's easy enough to loop, e.g.:

Go to object( "the name of your portal" )
Loop
  Go to portal row (next ; exit after last )
  Exit Loop If( item field = portal item field )
End Loop
If( item field = portal item field )
  Delete Portal Row
End If

Hi Fileman922,

 

Just to eliminate the obvious and looking at this from an overall User-perspective ... you can place an X on the first row and attach simple button step Delete Portal Row.  You probably are aware of this; if so then Tom's suggestion is a good one but I thought I should mention it.  :-)
