Help with string

[Gnintendo]

If I have a string, and I want to remove JUST the first character, how would I go about doing that?

[Toumaz]

foo := 'Bar';
foo := Copy(foo, 2, Length(foo)-1);
WriteLn(foo); // Will print 'ar'

seems like there was a delete() function, but i cant get it to work <.< Keeps swearing at me every time i try using it =/

[EnEsCe]

procedure delete(var s: string; ifrom, icount: Longint);

[Gnintendo]

foo := 'Bar';
foo := Copy(foo, 2, Length(foo)-1);
WriteLn(foo); // Will print 'ar'

What are the parameters for the Copy function?
What's the 2 for?

What are the parameters for the Copy function?
What's the 2 for?

function copy(s: string; ifrom, icount: Longint): string
so 2 is where to start copying (first char is 1, not 0) and the last arg is how many chars to copy
