removing first bit from the word

Hello,

I have a code like this :

pstSimPOIInfo[uiI].ppcName[ucCount] = realloc(pstSimPOIInfo[uiI].ppcName[ucCount], (usLen+strlen(CountryName)+4));
memset(pstSimPOIInfo[uiI].ppcName[ucCount], 0, (usLen+strlen(CountryName)+4)); strncpy((char *)pstSimPOIInfo[uiI].ppcName[ucCount], CityName, strlen(CityName)) strcat(pstSimPOIInfo[uiI].ppcName[ucCount], ","); strcat(pstSimPOIInfo[uiI].ppcName[ucCount], CountryName);

This displays:
CityName, CountryName like below:
^PCERFONTAINE,^PFRANCE
^PFERRIE-LA-PETITE, ^PFRANCE
^PQUIELON, ^PFRANCE
^PESMES, ^PFRANCE

I would like to remove the first bit "^P" and display it....

How do i do it???

Thankx
Jazz
