Cut off first letter of a string

[fergmj]

I have a string that is passed to my server app from my client app. The string is like this:

1123

It is a max of four numbers. The first number I am using to tell the server app what com port to use. If the first number is 1, then I'll use com port 1 etc.

The last three numbers are the TV channel.

If I want channel 007, on com port 2, then the string will be "27".

How can I chop off the first digit and then keep the last part of the string intact?

Thanks.

Look at your other thread for my posting to use SubString. Alternately, you can use the archaic square brackets.

// String TheCode is set up somewhere else

int TheLen = ComPort.Length(); // String Length
if (TheLen > 0)
{

    // If the length is 0, don't do this
    String ComPort = TheCode[1]; // Notice AnsiStrings use 1 for first place

    String Channel = TheCode.SubString(2, TheLen); // The rest of the string
}

Again, this off the top of my head so you may have to play with the code a bit. Also C++ strings have similar functions.
