Edit Exerpt before word count

Support
#1

I have some blog posts with a short intro paragraph before the actual text which I don’t want to have included in the exerpt.

Best case, I’d like the intro paragraph bypassed when the exerpt is created (so the word count starts after the intro paragraph), rather than taking it out of the exerpted text (so making it shorter).

The intro paragraph has a specific class and is enclosed in brackets, so I could use regex to find and then remove the string (substr_replace) … but I cant locate function with the text string to manipulate. And I don’t know how to hook to it through the pro_child functions.php.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
