HockeyFan Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hello! Can someone point me in the right direction? I need to trim the leading zero's off of a numeric string. For example: I'm pulling the following sample information from a log file: 0000982 and would like to display it as 982. Yes, I have read the Help File, especially the "string" and "Stringtrim" fuctions for help, but the problem is that there is not always 4 leading zero's. I was thinking I would have to evaluate each number starting from the left and delete it if it was equal to zero. I just need to know where to start and I should be able to take it from there. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UEZ Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Try this: $string = "00000012345054321" $new = StringReplace($string, StringRegExpReplace($string, "[^0].*", ""), "") MsgBox(0, "Test", $new) Br, UEZ Edited December 7, 2011 by UEZ Please don't send me any personal message and ask for support!

Moderators Melba23 Posted December 7, 2011 Moderators Share Posted December 7, 2011 HockeyFan, This seems to work quite well: Global $aList[3] = [0000982, 00009082, 9082] For $i = 0 To UBound($aList) - 1 $sRet = StringRegExpReplace($aList[$i], "^0*(d+)", "$1") ConsoleWrite($sRet & @CRLF) Next SRE explanation: ^0* - Any number of zeros starting at the beginning (d+) - Capture any digits following - obviously starting from anything other than a zero Does it work for you?

guinness Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Another way is using Number().

HockeyFan Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 M23,Thank you...this also works very well for me. As with UEZ's posting, I am a bit confused about the the "^0*(d+)" paramater.

HockeyFan Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 guinness, I looked at the Number() function, but didnt think it applied to this situation. I should have at least tried it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
