Dear PureCloud

Wishing you are well.

I have a variety of numbers that can return from a data action. For example
00006789
00678678
000678678

The first number will always start with a 0, and there may be more than one 0. There will always be a number after 0, which is where I want to start the new string.

Does Architect have a function to cater for this, please?

It'd be great if we could use a regular expression for this but you can use:

ToInt() to trim the leading zeros
and then convert it back to a string using ToString() if you need it as a string.

ToInt("00040567098") yields 40567098
ToString(40567098) yields "40567098" 

You could get back to a string in one step by: ToString(ToInt(variable)) 

Of course this only works with the example strings you provided because the strings are composed of digits.

You could use a substitution loop.  Just look at each character of the string and drop whatever you want from the front.
