`"#22UP0G0YU".slice(1)` if`#` is always first character and `"#22UP0G0YU".toUpperCase()` for uppercase. – Mohammad Usman Jan 03 '18 at 13:00

2Do you always want to remove the first char? or # or could it be any char anywhere within the string? – Geraint Jan 03 '18 at 13:00

To remove a specific char I normally use replace, also good for a set of chars:
var str = '#22UP0G0YU';
var newString = str.replace('#', ''); // result: '22UP0G0YU'
To Uppercase, just use .toUpperCase();
var str = '#22UP0G0yu';
var newString = str.replace('#', '').toUpperCase(); // result: '22UP0G0YU'

1The result of replace is being ignored. Edit your answer: `str = str.replace('#', '');` – Ele Jan 03 '18 at 13:04

I did that but it didn't really edit the var so i had to assign the replace in another variable. Thx anyway, I'm still looking for how 2 make string uppercase – Free TNT Jan 03 '18 at 13:05

@FreeTNT Yeah I should have stated that it needst to be added to the variable, i've updated it, and added the upper case help you needed. – Rick Jan 03 '18 at 13:33
