Re: remove first character in text file

Just want to add to this with a little more info.... my text file is a list of email addresses with a "%" separating them. For example: user@domain.com%user@domain2.com%user@domain3.com Now sometimes I end up with a "%" at the beginning. For example: %user@domain.com%user@domain2.com%user@domain3.com Or: %%user@domain.com%user@domain2.com%user@domain3.com Now that causes me issues else where in the script. So what I need to do is check if the "%" character exists at the beginning of the file and remove any if the "%" is there. ideas? d

Hi there.. I have a text file where I need to remove JUST the first character in the text file. Can anyone point me to a tutorial? d
