Hey guys

i have to remove leading zeros from a string and String is in this format "00000234-345"

if there is no - sign in the string i can just convert the string to Integer and all the zreos are removed. because of - sign i cant do that. so can anyone help me in this?

Thanks

sam

    • Loop over the string starting at the beginning until you find a non-zero (or hit the end of the string). Save the index of where you left off. Call substring on the original to get it. Can't you figure that out?

      Thanks for doing his homework for him. Now he doesn't have to think.

    • Or it is luring him to use a prefabricated method instead of doing some elementary programmaing along your lines and profiting from it. I don't know.
