Remove from Dictionary

Its probably super simple but I can't figure it out.

I need some help.

I have a piece of Vb script (see below) that adds strings to a Dictionary.

I would like to have a counterpart one that removes the very same strings.

Dim dPack As Object = Pack.Duplicate()

For Each setting As String In Settings
Dim thisPointName As String = setting.Split(",")(1)
Dim thisPoint As point3d = dPack.Geometries.Item(setting.Split("\")(1))

dPack.Parameters.Add(thisPointName & "\X", thisPoint.X)
dPack.Parameters.Add(thisPointName & "\Y", thisPoint.Y)
dPack.Parameters.Add(thisPointName & "\Z", thisPoint.Z)
Next

PackOut = dPack

Thanks in advance for your help.

So where's the dictionary?

David,

I have inherited this code from an old colleague. I was under the impression that this code added the points coordinates to a dictionary which then gets exported later on.

Maybe I was mistaken.

If this is not the case, then its just a matter of deleting the parameter string? Am I correct?

I am sorry my vb skills are rather limited.

It may, but I can't tell. I do not know what type the Pack variable is and everything sort of hinges on that.

To elaborate, you need to post more code so I can see what types you're actually using.

David,

i did a bit of digging at the root of the code.

It appears to be a custom Class....

I figured out how to make it work.
