The delete character doesn't remove characters from a string or file.
WIthin a program, it's not special, it's just another character like
'a' or space. The "delete" behavior is programmed in to the standard
mechanisms used by programs to get input from you.: whenever you're
typing input to a program, some part of that program's code is
checking to see if what you typed is a delete character and, if so, it
backs up over the previous character.
Are you trying to modify a file, or just ignore parts of it within your code?
