main()

  int val;
  string filename = "c:/pvss_projects/MyProj/config/config";
  string section = "general";
  val = paCfgDeleteValue(filename, section, "langs",
  "en_US.utf8");
  /* Deletes the entry "langs" containing the value "en_US.utf8"
  from the [general] section of the config file (of the project
  MyProj) */
}

Example

The following example deletes the entry LoadCtrlLibs with the value mp.ctl from the [ctrl] section of the config.level file.

main()
{
  int val;
  string filename = "C:/Siemens/Automation/WinCC_OA/3.18/config/config.level";
  string section = "ctrl";
  val = paCfgDeleteValue(filename, section, "LoadCtrlLibs",
  "mp.ctl");
