remove preceding zeroes in ASP

The easiest way in this case would be to CInt your number.

s = "00000102"
snew = CInt(s)
response.write snew

how would i transform this number: 00000102 into 102

basically, i just want to remove all preceding zeroes, but not replace all
zeroes

response.write snew

or:

s = "00000102"
response.write +s

<%
var = CInt("00000102")
%>

you might want to use CLng rather than CInt unless you know that the number
will never be greater than 32k.

Depending on the exact kind of data he anticipates, a totally different
approach may be needed, like of the data will wind up being "0000102A"
"00000102B" and things like that. But I guess we'll see.

well... he did say "number" in his post. whether he meant it or not is
another story.
