title: Remove first char in string if found
body: <p>In C++, if I have string <code>'aasdfghjkl'</code> how, for instance, can I check to see if there's an 'a', and if so remove only the first occurrence of it?</p>
  
  <p>I tried <code>find()</code> and then
      <code>templetters.erase('a')</code> but I think I need to already know the position for that to work. </p>
