<div>
string input = &quot;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,BL8,NW3,<wbr />BL8&quot;;<br />
string output = input.TrimStart(new char[] {','});
</div>


string input = ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,BL8,NW3,BL8";
string output = input.TrimStart(new char[] {','});

<div>
To get rid of the 'leading commas...try this...<br />
<br />
yourString=&quot;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,<wbr />,,,BL8,NW3<wbr />,BL8)&quot;<br />
Dim strNew=yourString.replace(<wbr />&quot;,&quot;,&quot; &quot;).trim.replace(&quot; &quot;,&quot;,&quot;)<br />
<br />
This will replace all commas with a space, trim the results and then replace the remaining spaces with commas (to 'add' them back in)

Problems with trim function

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
