how to remove the first character from a string?

[lutech]

Which command I can use to remove the first character from a string?

Thanks in advance.

one of the ways:

echo "string" | sed -e 's/^.\(.*\)/\1/g' vlad
+---------------------------+
|#include<disclaimer.h> |
+---------------------------+

or in ksh [any POSIX compliant]

echo &quot;{myVar#?}&quot; vlad
+---------------------------+
|#include<disclaimer.h> |
+---------------------------+

Or slightly simpler version of the sed solution

echo &quot;string&quot; | sed 's/^.//' CaKiwi

echo ${STRING} | cut -b 2-
