Delete first character of a string in JavaScript

Question

Can anyone tell me how to delete the first character of a string that is zero and delete it in JavaScript?

Answer 1

Check the code below to remove 1st character of a string using substring:

var s1 = "foobar";

var s2 = s1.substring(1);

alert(s2); // shows "oobar"

See the code snippet below to remove all 0’s:

var s = "0000test";

while(s.charAt(0) === '0')

{

 s = s.substring(1);

}
