well, it actually looks like there IS a trick (which I used and didn't realize it). if you code in directly in source code form, then you cannot provide for deletes.. if you code the in and out strings as strings, then you can. in="a,b,c,e" out = ",,, ," (or "'','','', ,") will not work in="a,b,c,e" out = ''&","&''&","&''&","&' ' then it DOES work.
