How to remove first character from every row of an attribute field

BrendanWhite1

Hello all,

I am new to Python and, as you can probably guess, I am having issue with some code I'm attempting to write.  The following will describe what I am attempting to do, and hopefully you wonderful people can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I have a point feature class with an attribute field called "STOINLET_I."  The field looks like this, and has about 2000 entries (rows):

PDIN-0001
PDIN-0002
PDIN-0003
PDIN-0004
...

Here is a screenshot, to help better articulate the feature class:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]26495[/ATTACH]

What I am attempting to do with this script is remove the first character in every row of the field so that the "P" no longer exists, which would leave me with this:

DIN-0001
DIN-0002
DIN-0003
DIN-0004
...

I am confident that the first section of code runs successfully.  The problem lies within the cursor, but I cannot figure out where.  I know this should be easy, but any help would be sincerely appreciated!

import arcpy, string, os, fileinput from arcpy import env env.workspace = "desired workspace" env.overwriteOutput = True fc = "desired feature class" verification = arcpy.Exists (fc) print verification del verification   cursor = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor (fc, ["STOINLET_I"]) for row in cursor:     row.Replace(row[0:],'') del row del cursor

cursor = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor (fc, ["STOINLET_I"]) for row in cursor:     cursor.updateRow([row[0][1:]])
