title: POWERSHELL: Drop X number of beginning characters in a file
body: <p>I have a vendor-propriety files that I am converting to csv.  I need to delete the first 7 characters of each file.  These characters are a mix of printable and non-printable characters.</p>
  
  <p>For example, the one file might have </p>
  
  <p><code>$([char]0x56)$([char]0x28)$([char]0x00)$([char]0x00)$([char]0x4C)$([char]0x01)$([char]0x01)</code></p>
  
  <p>And the next file might have</p>
  
  <p><code>$([char]0x4F)$([char]0xE7)$([char]0x00)$([char]0x00)$([char]0x4C)$([char]0x01)$([char]0x01)</code></p>
  
  <p>And the next file might have something completely different.</p>
