I have a javascript string which have a leading dot. I want to remove the leading dot using javascript replace function. I tried the following code.

var a = '.2.98»';
document.write(a.replace('/^(\.+)(.+)/',"$2"));

But this is not working. Any Idea?

    The following replaces a dot in the beginning of a string with an empty string leaving the rest of the string untouched:

    a.replace(/^\./, "")
