Remove Zero Padding

Hi guys,

I have a number that I'm storing that is padded with 5 zeros, e.g. "00045". What I'm trying to do now is remove the padding so that I have "45".

I'm not sure what the best way to go about doing it is. Here's what I'm thinking: the logic would be to look at the string and find the position of the first non-zero character and then return a substring from the first non-zero character index to the string length.

I'm having trouble actually writing out the logic in C2 to accomplish this. Any advice?

Thanks!

Just convert it to int: int("00045")

Aaahhhh! I was searching for a way to cast a variable but couldn't find anything.

Thanks a lot!
