[JW Lua] Delete paga-texts

[Jari Williamsson]

Bart,

Always make the habit of deleting multiple items backwards! If you 
delete the first data item referenced in a JW Lua collection, Finale 
relocates the data records while the collection keeps the old info from 
the LoadAll() call. That means that for each run you might only delete 
half of the data records in Finale.

A backwards delete version would be:

for i = page_texts.Count-1, 0, -1 do
     p = page_texts:GetItemAt(0) -- Requires a 0-based collection index
     p:DeleteData()
end


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
