How to set a variable the same as another without first word?

Question

I need to pull all words from a variable in my batch script without the first word to another variable.

ex

if %hello% had "apples are awesome" (without quotes) in it and was pulled and put into %hi%

%hi% would say "are awesome" (without quotes)

thanks in Advance

Answer 1

for /f "tokens=1*" %%a in ("%hello%") do set "hi=%%b"
echo %hi%

should work for you.
