Description

example

deleteEntry(entryObj) deletes the data dictionary entry represented by entryObj, a Simulink.data.dictionary.Entry object. The represented entry no longer exists in the data dictionary that defined it.

The function sets the Status properties of any Simulink.data.dictionary.Entry objects representing the deleted entry to 'Deleted'. You can access only the Status properties of the objects.

Examples

Represent the data dictionary entry fuelFlow with a Simulink.data.dictionary.Entry object named fuelFlowObj. fuelFlow is defined in the data dictionary myDictionary_ex_API.sldd.

myDictionaryObj = Simulink.data.dictionary.open('myDictionary_ex_API.sldd');
dDataSectObj = getSection(myDictionaryObj,'Design Data');
fuelFlowObj = getEntry(dDataSectObj,'fuelFlow');

Delete the entry fuelFlow from the data dictionary myDictionary_ex_API.sldd. myDictionary_ex_API.sldd no longer contains the fuelFlow entry.
