remove first horizontal tab on each line

Hi,

I am using VBScript RegEx on a file to filter it and I wondered if it
was possible to remove only the first horizontal tab on each line?

By horizontal tab you mean a tab character that
insets the text? You should be able to just
use Replace:

If s is the file as a string then -

s1 = vbCrLf & Chr(9)
s = Replace(s, s1, vbCrLf)

That will replace all strings consisitng of a line return
and tab character with just a line return, effectively
removing all tabs that start lines. The only exception
will be the first line. You'd need to do that separately:

If Left(s, 1) = Chr(9) then s = Right(s, (len(s) - 1))
