Template:Remove first word

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template removes the first word of the first parameter. Use |1= for the first parameter if the string may contain an equals sign (=). By default, words are delimited by spaces, but the optional parameter |sep= can set the separator to any character.

Usage

One parameter (space as separator):

• {{Remove first word|string}}
• {{Remove first word|1=string}}

Two parameters (user-defined character as separator):

• {{Remove first word|string|sep=character}}
• {{Remove first word|1=string|sep=character}}

Examples

• {{Remove first word|Fôo bår bàz}} → bår bàz
• {{Remove first word|Fôo bår bàz}} → bår bàz
• {{Remove first word|a b}} → b
• {{Remove first word|Fôo-bår}} →
• {{Remove first word|Fôo-bår bàz}} → bàz
• {{Remove first word|Fôo-bår bàz|sep=-}} → bår bàz
• {{Remove first word|34,000,500|sep=,}} → 000,500
• {{Remove first word|Hear ye, users|sep=,}} → users
