remove first result in foreach looop in C#

Question

I have following foreach loop , I want to skip first result and and get rest of it

    foreach (String W in words)
    {
     ...
    }

How can I do this

@garglblarg: ahem, i don't think that OP wants to skip all which are equal to the first, but even then your syntax is incorect. This would be better: `words.Where(w => w != words.First())` — Tim Schmelter, Jun 24 '16 at 12:06
@TimSchmelter oh right, `Except` needs something enumerable as an argument and concerning the removal of identical elements: true, i was just assuming a collection of unique elements. — garglblarg, Jun 24 '16 at 12:13

Simple use Skip extension method (using LINQ) like this:

   foreach (String W in words.Skip(1))
        {
         ...
        }

You can use a bit of LINQ to Skip items from the front of an IEnumerable<T>

foreach (String W in words.Skip(1))
{
 ...
}
