SYNTAX StaticVarRemove( ''variablename'' )
RETURNS NOTHING
FUNCTION This function removes static variable and releases associated memory.

With AmiBroker version 5.30, StaticVarRemove() supports wildcards in the variable name.

"varname" parameter can be either exact variable name or wildcard match string.

The '*' matches any number of characters, including zero characters. The '?' matches exactly one character.

Example 1:

StaticVarRemove("MyVariables*");
// this will remove all static variables beginning with MyVariables prefix.

EXAMPLE StaticVarSet("DifferentName", 1 );

printf( "Total static variables = %g\n\n", StaticVarCount() );

for( i = 1; i <= 5; i++ )
  for( j = 1; j <= 5; j++ )
   {
     VarName = "Test_X=" + i + "_Y=" + j;
     printf("Setting variable " + VarName + "\n" );
     StaticVarSet( Varname, 1 );
   }

printf( "Total static variables = %g\n\n", StaticVarCount() );

printf( "Now wildcard remove *X=1*\n" );

StaticVarRemove( "*X=1*" );

printf( "Total static variables = %g\n\n", StaticVarCount() );

printf( "Now wildcard remove Test*\n" );
