Remove 1st character

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Variable path returns "/SDWebBrowse"; without the quotes.

How can I remove the character "/"; leaving SDWebBrowse?

Tried String exString = path, using the String exString ="Hello World'"example; without success.

You could use something like readString.indexOf('/') to find the location of the /, then readString.substring() to capture everything beyond the /.

#3

If you used strings instead of Strings, you'd just point to the second character.
No need to lose anything

#4

Could you give an example, please?

#5 
static char MyBuffer[81];

void setup( void )
{
  strcpy( MyBuffer, "/SDWebBrowse" );
  Serial.begin( 115200 );
  Serial.println( &MyBuffer[1] );
}

void loop( void ) { }

Very simple demo code using the serial monitor.

// zoomkat 3-19-15 serial string test
// type a string like yadayadayada/SDWebBrowse
// in serial monitor. then send or enter

String readString, newString;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("serial test parse"); // so I can keep track of what is loaded
}

void loop() {

  while (Serial.available()) {
    delay(2);  //delay to allow byte to arrive in input buffer
    char c = Serial.read();
    readString += c;
  }

  if (readString.length() >0) {
    Serial.println(readString);

    int pos = readString.indexOf('/');
    newString = readString.substring(pos+1);
    Serial.print("newString is: ");

    Serial.println(newString);
    newString="";
    readString="";
  } 
}

Thank you Coding Badly and zoomkat!

I will try both examples.
