Here is a function to remove the first occ of a character from a string

function removeChar(s, c)
{
   var i = s.indexOf(c);
   if (i == -1)
   {
     return s;
   }
   //it exists
   var front = s.substring(0,i);
   var back = s.substring(i+1);
   return front + back;
}

may not be the most efficient...
