How to remove a defined part of a string?

Question

I have this string: \"NT-DOM-NV\\MTA\" How can I delete the first part: \"NT-DOM-NV\\\" To have this as result: \"MTA\"

How is it possible with RegEx?

Answer 1

string.TrimStart(what_to_cut); // Will remove the what_to_cut from the string as long as the string starts with it.  

"asdasdfghj".TrimStart("asd" ); will result in "fghj".
"qwertyuiop".TrimStart("qwerty"); will result in "uiop".

public static System.String CutStart(this System.String s, System.String what)
{
    if (s.StartsWith(what))
        return s.Substring(what.Length);
    else
        return s;
}

"asdasdfghj".CutStart("asd" ); will now result in "asdfghj".
"qwertyuiop".CutStart("qwerty"); will still result in "uiop".
