Manipulate string with Substring

Question

I’m trying to manipulate a string

I’m running the code:

string oldString = ",,,,,1001,1002,1003,1004,1005,1006,1007,1008";
string newString = oldString.Substring(oldString.IndexOf("1"));

I want the new string to be: "1001,1002,1003,1004,1005,1006,1007,1008"

But it is returning: ",1003,1004,1005,1006,1007,1008".

Answer 1

You can do it using Trim instead of substring, like this:

string oldString = ",,,,,1001,1002,1003,1004,1005,1006,1007,1008";
string newString = oldString.TrimStart(',');
