Fast and clever way to get the NON FIRST segment of a C# string

Question

I do a split(\' \') over an string and I want to pull the first element of the returned string in order to get the rest of the string.

f.e. \"THIS IS

Answer 1

Very simply, you could do:

string input = "THIS IS AN AMAZING STRING";
string result = input.Substring(input.IndexOf(' ') + 1);

This will work for the type of input you're specifying (where there is always a space between the first two words in your string), but for case where the input string does not have spaces at all, it returns the whole string as-is.
