Delete Layer By Name

This is your code (function):

fn deleteLayerByName layerName = 
(
	--set 0-layer to be current
	(layermanager.getlayer 0).current = true
	--find layer that you need to delate
	layerToDelete = LayerManager.getLayerFromName layerName
	if layerToDelete == undefined then (messagebox ("Layer *"+layerName+"* don't exist!!!") title:"DeleteLayerByName" beep:false) else
	(
		layerToDelete.nodes &theNodes -- check if layer is empty then delete it
		if theNodes.count != 0 then (messagebox ("Layer *"+layerName+"* is not empty!!!") title:"DeleteLayerByName" beep:false)
		else (LayerManager.deleteLayerbyname layerName)
	)
)
deleteLayerByName "good-roof"
