Removing character from string

Question

Hi All I'm trying to remove 2 characters at the beginning of a string but its not working. this is the code: if (preview.StartsWith(\)) { preview.Remove(0 2); FileInfo prev2 = new FileInfo(preview); } so the string begins with \ which I want to get rid of. But despite the code above the string stays the same. Cheers

Try: if (preview.StartsWith(\)) { preview = preview.Substring(2); FileInfo prev2 = new FileInfo(preview); } If you hadn't realized already note also that \ is one character not two. If you want to just get rid of this character use: preview = preview.Substring(1);
