I have a string which is ant: man : jack.
I want to split the string from :so that I get man : jack as the output.
Note: The string should split from the first occurrence of the : character. how can I do this ?
What I tried works, But I need another method to produce this result.
var.Substring(var.IndexOf(':') + 1);
string split = var.Split(new char { ':' }, 2);
split[1] = split[1].TrimStart();

Why do you need another method? What's wrong with your current method?

Substring(var.IndexOf(':') + 1);will be the fastest and least verbose, what is your actual problem why cant you use it

We could try doing a regex replace:
string input = "ant: man : jack";
string s = Regex.Replace(input, @"^[^:]+s*:s*", "");
Console.WriteLine(s);
man : jack
But, I think that splitting actually would scale better given your input string.

You are interested in only the substring after colon, so you want to drop the characters before, you need to use skipWhile:
string test = "ant:man:jack";
var results = test.SkipWhile(t => t != ':').Skip(0).ToList();
Remember skipWhile will skip characters till the predicate is true, that means at first instance of : it will return a list of chars.

"It will return the substring" - but it doesn't? AList<char>does not astringmaketh! Also theremoveAt(0)could easily be replaced with an extra.Skip(1)after your.SkipWhile().
