The following type resolves to never on all TS versions I have tried, but to me looks like it should resolve to the empty string ("").
Any clues what might be going on?
type A = "ab" extends `${infer _ extends "ab"}${infer B extends string}` ? B : never;

Not too sure, it might be a bug
But since you don't want the first part of the string, just dont infer it
type A = "ab" extends `ab${infer B extends string}` ? B : never;

I see. Nice workaround. Indeed feels like a flaw, as the behaviour does not happen if you use a single-char prefix. Thanks 🙂
