How would I delete the first line in the output from this command? If the output is A123456, I just want it to show me 123456 with the A.
Get-User $_ | Select sAMAccountName

What is the Get-User command? That doesn't seem to work for me.Calvin Allen– Calvin Allen2014-03-13 19:00:40 +00:00Commented Mar 13, 2014 at 19:00

Do you just want the sAMAccountName string, or do you want an object with the sAMAccountName property?mjolinor– mjolinor2014-03-13 19:00:55 +00:00Commented Mar 13, 2014 at 19:00

Just get the substring starting at the second letter(index 1).
Get-User $_ | Select @{n="AccountName";e={$_.sAMAccountName.Substring(1)}}
If you just need the value, you could do it like this:
Get-User $_ | % { $_.sAMAccountName.Substring(1) }

Thanks Frode. I just needed the value. I am not that familar with using strings but appreacite your expertise.
Substring(1) returns a substring containing all chars after the first one.
Get-User $_ | Select @{N="myAccountName";E={$_.sAMAccountName).substring(1)}}

You can remove the first character with the -replace operator:
(Get-User $_ | select -Expand sAMAccountName) -replace '^.'
Or
Get-User $_ | select @{n='sAMAccountName';e={$_.sAMAccountName -replace '^.'}}
if you want to keep objects rather than strings.

$str = "@123456";
$str = $str.Substring(1,($str.Length-1));
$str;
