regex - C# Replace Everything before the first Space -

i need remove in string before first occurrence of space.

for example:

22 cats of india

4 royal highness

562 eating potatoes

42 biscuits in 2nd fridge

2564 niagara falls @ 2 pm

i need:

the cats of india

royal highness

eating potatoes

biscuits in 2nd fridge

niagara falls @ 2 pm

basically remove every number before first space, including first space.

i tried this:

foreach (string line in lines) {        string newline = line.trim().remove(0, line.indexof(' ') + 1); }

this works numbers below 10. after hits 2 digits, doesn't work properly.

how should change code?

if want make sure match digits @ beginning of string, can use following regex:

^\d+\p{zs}

declare like:

public static readonly regex rx = new regex(@"^\d+\p{zs}", regexoptions.compiled);

the ^\d+\p{zs} regex means: 1 or more digits @ start of string followed 1 whitespace.

and use like

string newline = rx.replace(line, string.empty);

edit: make sure line has no leading whitespace, can add .trim() strip like:

regex rx = new regex(@"^\d+\p{zs}", regexoptions.compiled); string newline = rx.replace(line.trim(), string.empty);
