I'm sure others have already figured this out, but I didn't find an easy answer when I tried to do this yesterday. Here is an easy way to remove an arbitrary number of entries from the beginning of a KM string array. This macro is meant as an example for you to incorporate into larger projects.
Hope it saves someone a bit of time!

It would be nice if you showed a picture (or whatever) of the final result.
Good idea!
The Search and Replace action will take an input, which in this case is hard-coded to one-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine. In reality, you would probably pass something dynamically (variable, dictionary entry, etc.)
Here is what happens based on the options you choose from the list input in this example:
n = 1
one-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine → one-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine
n=2
one-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine → two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine
n=3
one-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine → three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine
And so on...
This example is, technically speaking, removing the first n - 1 entries, but you can customize the %Calculate%local_n - 1% part of the Regex to change that behavior.
