Remove leading digits from a string

Question

How can I remove all the digits from the start of a string.

Before:

234234adsf3fs3fs34

After:

adsf3fs3fs34

Answer 1

You can use -Replace, which does accept RegEx:

"234234adsf3fs3fs34" -replace "^[0-9]*"

That will result in your desired output.

Alternatively you can use the .TrimStart() method as such:

("234234adsf3fs3fs34").TrimStart("0123456789")

That will also output what you want. It looks for anything contained within the () to remove, but is not RegEx friendly.

Answer 2

Try this statement:

string.TrimStart("1234567890")

Hope that helps!
