I’m trying to use s/^0*// in my CF template to strip out leading 0s from a 4
to 6 digit string.
Some of them don’t have leading 0s, some do; sometimes they are 4-6 digits
and i need all of them; sometimes they are 6 digits with one or two leading
zeroes i have to get rid of.
using
(s/^0*//([0-9]{4,6}))
did not work, and i’m not sure if it’s because i’m using it in the wrong
place, or because this method won’t work for custom fields.
Help!,

Aha! never mind, i think. The original expression, before i noticed the
leading zeroes, was looking for
TriggerText: 01234
using
FieldName|Body|(?i)triggertext\D?\D?\D?([0-9]{1,6})
because, iirc about setting that up, some people type TEXT 01234 and some
type TEXT: 01234, etc. I’d forgotten i am not checking the beginning of the
string, just my $1 goal.
Now i’m using
(?i)vin\D?\D?\D?0*([0-9]{4,6})
which is a good deal simpler, and seems to be working. None, one, or a
million leading zeroes should be ignored now.
