delete the visible xsection layer

i need a function, it get a number from user , if the number small than the currently xsectin layer number, then it will delete the visible layer pair( one conductor layer and a dielectrinic layer) , but i stuck at i verify a xsection layer are conductor and is visible currently ? im tried as follow ,but it doesnt work. so what's the right way ?

        xslayer = axlXSectionGet( nil 'all )
foreach( xsNum xslyaer
                 if( xsNum->isEtch && secNum->visible then   ; or xsNum->CONDUCTOR i want verify the layer is conductor and visible
                        printf( "will delete layer pair %" xsNum->position )
                        axlDeleteByLayer(xsNum->position + 1 ) ;delete dielectronic first
                        axlDeleteByLayer(xsNum->position )    ;then conductor
                    )
              ) ; just the position attribute is worked

I think you need to be using axlXSectionDelete() instead of axlDeleteByLayer(), since axlDeleteByLayer() requires a layer name, not a position number

Something like the following might work:

when(secNum == xsNum->position
axlMsgPut("found %d - %s" secNum strcat(axlMapClassName("ETCH") "/" xsNum->name))
when(xsNum->conductor && axlIsVisibleLayer(strcat(axlMapClassName("ETCH") "/" xsNum->name))
printf( "will delete layer pair %d" xsNum->position)
axlDeleteByLayer(strcat(axlMapClassName("ETCH") "/" xsNum->name) 'fixed)
axlXSectionDelete(xsNum->position + 1)
axlXSectionDelete(xsNum->position)
)
)
