Ddelete empty elements in arbortext editor

[bfriesen]

Is there a way that I can search for a specific empty element and delete it from multiple locations? My thought was to open a rde and do it from there but when I search for the element it finds the ones that have content also?

Thanks

To delete an empty element in the document open in Arbortext Editor, position the cursor at the very beginning of the document and enter the following at the command line:

while ($status==0) {find -t -nows '<elementname></elementname>';delete_mark;}

This is ACL (Arbortext Command Language), which is fully documented in online Help.
