Remove leading zeros from string
?Replace("32 01 22 88 03", "0", "")
Oops! That's going to replac *ALL* zeros; - the task is to replace *LEADING*
ZEROS ONLY!!
I devised the following solution. Maybe using regular expressions
is overkill, but it worked. Here it is:
Public Sub MyReplace()
' Include"Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5" in Tools-References
Dim regEx As New VBScript_RegExp_55.RegExp
Dim s1 As String
Dim sFinal As String
Dim sExample As String
sExample = "01 07 08 22 88 06 04"
' Replace leading zeros (in middle of line)
regEx.Pattern = " 0"
regEx.Global = True
regEx.IgnoreCase = False
s1 = regEx.Replace(sExample, " ")
' Remove leading zeros (at beginning of line)
regEx.Pattern = "^0"
regEx.Global = True
regEx.IgnoreCase = False
sFinal = regEx.Replace(s1, "")
MsgBox sFinal
End Sub
