Removing (only) leading zeros in a string

Hello experts.
I need to remove the leading zeros from the material name in Crystal Report for Enterprise. I stared with function Replace and Trim and it's fine in case I specify the number of zeros to be removed.
In reality number can be 00001103 or 00455601 and there is no way to know how many leading zeros. If I choose not to specify the number of replacements, all zeros will be removed with result 113 and 445561 which is not desirable one. I should get 1103 and 455601.
What syntax would remove only leading zeros?
Thank you,
Victoria

hi Victoria,
you could do something like
if isnumeric({your field}) then
     totext(tonumber({yourfield}),0)
cheers,

  • How to remove leading zeros from a string

    Hi,
    I have a situation here where i need to remove the leading  zeros from the incoming data.
    i.e if 0009 then it should be taken as 9
       if 0230  it should be taken as 230

    Hi ,
    Write UDF to parse data .
                    String dataVal="0230";
              int parseVal = Integer.parseInt(dataVal);
              System.out.println("parseVal is "+parseVal);
    result.addValue(parseVal); or return parseVal;

  • Remove leading zeros from a string

    Hi,
    I have a string with some numeric value.
    e.g.
    String a = 54890001
    I want to make it 10 digits long by padding zeros at the begining
    Now a = 0054890001 ( this is for display purpose ) I know how to do it.
    Now How can strip these leading zeros from this number to get back the actual number. The user sees this 10 digit number and he can change it to something like 0067490001. Now I want to strip these leading zeros.
    and i shd get 67490001.
    In other words, how to strip leading zeros from a string ?
    Thanks for help
    Vinod

    I would try two things: First, just try a straightforward parsing of your String using the Integer.parseInt() method. This is only my first suggestion because the number could be interpreted as octals; only testing will really tell. Second, try a method like this:
    public static String removeLeadingZeros(String str) {
        if (str == null) {
            return null;
        char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
        int index = 0;
        for (; index < str.length; index++) {
            if (chars[index] != '0') {
                break;
        return (index == 0) ? str : str.substring(index);
    }Shaun

  • Leading zeros in item strings

    We've recently done a system upgrade to 11.5.10.2. One of the problems we've found since the upgrade is that the Segment 2 from the item description strings has lost its leading zeros. Our string is in the format xxx-0000-0-xxx with segment 1 being the family, 2 being an item number within the family, 3 being the item level, and 4 being a manufacturer id. We previously didn't have any problem with missing leading zeros.
    What was previously ERT-0101-1-ABC is now showing as ERT-101-1-ABC. If this were purely for display purposes it wouldn't be too important, but it's affected some of our interfaces and reports. Even wiithin the standard inventory/mrp/order management screens, the item format changes depending on the individual form.
    It looks as if different screens/functions treat items in different ways - sometimes treating the string as a whole, other times apparently working each segment separately and then displaying a concatenated, lead zero less string. In the System Item segments value set for segment 2, I can see that Right-justify and Zero-fill Numbers is switched on. Is it this option that's failing?
    We've already implemented some fixes by padding the segment out as we produce the XML files we need for export, but before we get our support contractors to build fixes in all over the place I thought I should ask if there's a more singular fix for this.
    I can see some rather old issues logged in Oracle Support, but not a recent one related to this upgrade and zeros going missing.
    Any help gratefully received. :)

    Yes, the format validation for it is number. I'm reasonably certain it always used to be number, though.
    Should their be any detriment elsewhere if I had it changed to Char?
    The field (in our test system) is protected against update - how can I remove the protection to test this?
    Thanks for your help so far :)

  • How to add leading zeros to hex string?

    Hi, I've got the following problem:
    I have a string that represents a 8-digits hexadecimal number. But if the number has less as 8 digits, I need to add the leading zeros. I can't use DecimalFormat, 'cause it works only with decimal numbers. Is there any elegant solution to add the leading zeros to hex string (for example "A3F" to "00000A3F")

    Or better use a StringBuffer for that, though I doubt it's a performance problem in your case.

  • Removal of leading zeroes

    Hi guys,
    I have an infoobject MELEM.  It has values like '000000001234'.  I want to remove the leading zeroes in the output for the ODS, which is feeding to Cube and finally to MP.  Please can some one write the code for this on the update rules.  The infoobject has length 40 CHAR.
    Thanks,
    Jenny

    Hi Kamaljeet,
    Can you be little bit more specific about where to write the code? is it on the infoobject transfer routine? or in the update rule in the cube? i tried to write in the update rule of the cube. I don't want to change the info object globally. Because it is specific to my cube only. So, I want to write in the start routine like this:
    DATA:   l_myobj  LIKE /bic/myobj.
    but it is complaining, because it doesn't have the master data.  i know the declaration is wrong.  I got the error message like this:
    E:Field "/BIC/MASMBLYPN" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement.
    Can someone please help me?
    Thanks,
    Jenny

  • How can I remove the leading zeros on jpg files?

    I'm looking for a way to remove the leading zeros on over 1000 jpg files, without changing the remaining digits in the file name. Is there some automated "batch" script?
    i.e going from 003405607.jpg  to  3405607.jpg

    You could write an AppleScript. but it will be easier to get and use a third-party file renaming utility. I use the freeware NameChanger which works quite well.

  • Removal of leading zeros for material no. in report

    hi
    my issue is that i have to remove leading zeros for material number when displaying in alv grid.iam getting output.but leading have to truncated automatically.
    eg: 000000000000000102
    the ouput should be 102.
    please do provide solution for this or any function module.thanks in advance.

    Hi Sanjana,
    while populating the internal table use the conversion exit available for MATNR. this will remove the leading zeros.
    oter possible way, declare the internaltable by referring the data element MATNR, i hope if you do this, it will delete the leading zeros automaticallt.
    or if you declare the internal table field as charecter type, use the ALPLA_CONVERSION_EXIT_INPUT ot OUTPUT function module to remove the leading zeros.
    Reward the points if it is helpful..

  • Removal of leading zeros?

    Hi,
    if my infoobject value is 9999 it is updated into cube as 0000009999.
    How to write the routine to remove the leading zeros before the value?
    shilpa

    Hi,
      U can either use this function module also
    CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT
    or
    SHIFT <yourField> LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'
    or
    try NO-ZERO option of WRITE statement
    or
    Another way is to create another variable of type I and assign the value into it
    example:
    DATA: L_NUMC(08) TYPE N.
    DATA: L_INT TYPE I.
    L_NUMC = '00000018'.
    L_INT = L_NUMC.
    Result will be = 18.

    Hi,
    Please check out this thread.
    Remove leading zeros
    Also check if there is any conversion routine used for that particular infoobject.
    If ALPHA conversion is selected for your infoobject then it will automatically take away the leading zeros at query level.

  • Pad leading zeros in a string.Format function

    How could use the string.Format function and in the format text pad a leading zero? 
    Pseudo code is:
    string parm = “5”;
    string format = “Some number formatted as 3 dig: Format({0}, 000)”;
    string output = string.Format(format, parm);
    Where the output would look like this:
    “Some number formatted as 3 dig: 005”
    Thanks.

    Thanks everyone. Unfortuantly there's a constraint where the padding operation needs to be embedded in the format string. This entire operatin is being put together dynamically where the format strings are being pulled from a library of format strings stored
    in a database. at runtime we don't know how which format will be used and how many parameters will be passed in. we have logic to handle the unknown number of paramters as there is metadata which helps us with that.
    the need for leading zeros needs to be part of the overall format defined in the format string.  for example, a real format string stored in the database looks like this:
    "LINE_NO = '{0}',  AND GEO_LOCATION = 'T{1}, {2},  R{3}, {4}, , Sec. {5}'"
    and its output from the string.Function is:
    "LINE_NO = 'TG-G2469',  AND GEO_LOCATION = 'T155, N,  R93, W, , Sec. 5'"
    the last parameter (param 5) had a value of 5.  In another case the output requirement might need to look like this:
    "LINE_NO = 'TG-G2469',  AND GEO_LOCATION = 'T155, N,  R93, W, , Sec. 05'"
    note the "05" at the end...
    the logic of using the leading zero needs to be embedded in the overall format string text.
    Thank you.
