## @deftypefn {} {@var{newstr} =} erase (@var{str}, @var{ptn})
## Delete all occurrences of @var{ptn} within @var{str}.
##
## @var{str} and @var{ptn} can be ordinary strings, cell array of strings, or
## character arrays.
##
## Examples
##
## @example
## @group
## ## string, single pattern
## erase ("Hello World!", " World")
## @result{} "Hello!"
##
## ## cellstr, single pattern
## erase (@{"Hello", "World!"@}, "World")
## @result{} @{"Hello", "!"@}
##
## ## string, multiple patterns
## erase ("The Octave interpreter is fabulous", ...
## @{"interpreter ", "The "@})
## @result{} "Octave is fabulous"
##
## ## cellstr, multiple patterns
## erase (@{"The ", "Octave interpreter ", "is fabulous"@}, ...
## @{"interpreter ", "The "@})
## @result{} @{"", "Octave ", "is fabulous"@}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Programming Note: @code{erase} deletes the first instance of a pattern in a
## string when there are overlapping occurrences. For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## erase ("abababa", "aba")
## @result{} "b"
## @end group
## @end example
##
## For processing overlaps, @pxref{XREFstrrep,,@code{strrep}}.
##
## @seealso{strrep, regexprep}
