Use some combination of one or more of:

string::find
string::find_first_of
string::erase

did it like this

string str (" c++ rocks!");
str.erase (0,1);
cout << str << endl;

You can call it that if you want, but usually "chop" means to remove
the last character of a string. I've seen "ltrim" for removing leading
characters, there are probably other names.

string str (" c++ rocks!");
str.erase (0,1);
cout << str << endl;

This will always remove the first character (and only that one),
regardless of whether it's whitespace or not. Is that what you want?
