Batch file, how to remove the first world in a text file and only in the first line? : I have a .txt file that may contain various words on various lines and I just want to remove the first word in the first line. (ex: I have 2 lines in my text file containing 2 words each (abc, bcd on the first line and cde, def on the second) annd I want the output to be bcd on the first line and cde and def on the second).  I researched this and I only came across to how to remove the first word in all the lines but I only need in the first line. Thanks in advance.
