If it is negative, the replace command will count backward from the end of container to determine which occurrence to delete. The ordinalNumber should be an expression which evaluates to a number. The ordinalTerm should be an ordinal number, such as first, second, third, and so forth, or one of the terms middle (or mid), penultimate, last, or any. If ordinalTerm or ordinalNumber is given, only a single occurrence of targetText will be deleted. If the first or last options are used, howMany will specify the number of occurrences of targetText that should be deleted, starting at either the beginning or end of container respectively. You may optionally precede targetText by all in this case if you like, which makes the impact clearer. Simply providing a targetText expression will cause the command to delete every occurrence of the value of that expression within container, so use this option cautiously.

You must include one of the targetText options in a delete command, to specify what will be deleted. The delete command will delete the indicated text, searching through all values nested to any depth within such containers. If container is a variable, its contents may be of any sort, including a list or property list. The container can be any container, including a variable, a portion of a variable (using a chunk expression), or a text file. You must include the in container or within container option in such a delete command.
