I have a string like this:

var str=",test,test1,test2,teset4"

How can I remove the ',' in front of the string? So the output will be something like this:

'test,test1,test2,teset4'

  • how was this string generated, maybe there is a bit of a deeper issue than this simple removing first character of a string question – Brian H. Aug 26 '16 at 11:10

you can try this:

str.substr(1)


var str=",test,test1,test2,teset4"
alert(str.substr(1))

Use any of these String#slice, String#substr or String#substring.

var str = ",test,test1,test2,teset4"
console.log(str.slice(1));
console.log(str.substr(1));
console.log(str.substring(1));

You can use substr:

var str = ",test,test1,test2,teset4"
console.log(str.substr(1));

var str=",test,test1,test2,teset4";
while(str.charAt(0) === ',')
    str = str.substr(1);
alert(str);
