vedelete − remove specified elements from a VisionX file

vedelete [if=infile] [of=ofile] [e=<list>] [-v]

Vedelete deletes specified VisionX elements from a VisionX file. All instances of a specified element are removed from the file.

Elements in the required meta data in the file header cannot be deleted.

The current implementation handles single element specifications only (i.e. comma separated lists cannot be used yet)

if=

input file, must be a VisionX file

of=

output file

e=

A comma separated list of elements to be deleted. Elements may be specified by either their decimal numeric value or by their program name. A list of elements and their names can be obtained with the command "vpr -t"

-v

Verbose mode: The number of each type of element removed is reported.

To delete frame markers from a file:

(a) using numeric values

vedelete if=infile of=outfile e=26,42

(b) using element names

vedelete if=infile of=outfile e=VX_FRAME,VX_EFRAME
