Hello,
I am working on a script that does a directory of a Windows drive. There are some lines returned where there are spaces before the 1st character.
If it's the first character then by definition it can't have anything before it.
This throws off the splitting of the line into an array.
Then you are doing it wrong. If you use split correctly it will not matter if there are leading spaces.
How can I strip the leading characters in an efficient way into either the same string or a new string.
