{{Remove first word| string |sep= character }} {{Remove first word|1= string |sep= character }} {{Remove first word|Fôo bår bàz}}{{Remove first word|Fôo bår bàz}}{{Remove first word|a b}}{{Remove first word|Fôo-bår}}{{Remove first word|Fôo-bår 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{{Remove first word|1=len = a+b|sep==}} → a+b
