I’d like the option to strip the text from the beginning of the text by adding a parameter strip=“beginning”

so that

would output

The reason is that I’ve got a client site with a prefix auto added to the title but in one area of the site it’s not needed and would like to just strip it off.

I think this functionality falls outside of Hacksaw. Hacksaw would only be able to strip a specific number of characters from the beginning. Personally I think this would apply to a very small number of cases. I could be wrong though…

As an alternative I would recommend going with a ‘find & replace’ plugin. One of these would probably do a better job at this task

Hi Sean,

I’ve added the ability to start the excerpt X characters into the content. This can only be used when limited your content by characters for now. For example, you can now grab characters 100 through 500.
