| + | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
| + | $__rest__(<text>) \\ | ||
| + | $__rest__(<num> <text>) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Technical:====== | ||
| + | * If the <num> argument is not provided, 1 is the default value. | ||
| + | * The return value is <text> with the first <num>th characters removed. | ||
| + | * If you think that the first word in <text> may be a number, better to be safe than sorry; specify an explicit "1" for <num>. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Practical:====== | ||
| + | This can be used to remove the initial character of a string, or to remove | ||
| + | multiple initial characters from a string. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Returns:====== | ||
| + | <text> with the first <num> characters removed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Examples:====== | ||
| + | <file> | ||
| + | $rest(4 foobarfnord) returns "arfnord" | ||
| + | $rest(foobarfnord) returns "oobarfnord" | ||
| + | $rest(1 5 testing) returns " testing" | ||
| + | </file> | ||
