How to remove all zeros from string's beginning ?

Question

I have a string which is beginning with zeros:

string s = "000045zxxcC648700";

How can I remove them so that string will look like:

string s = "45zxxcC648700";

Answer 1

is it always numeric ? why dont you parse it to int or long and then go back to string?

Answer 2

I would use TrimStart

string no_start_zeros = s.TrimStart('0');

Answer 3

by using

s.TrimStart("0".ToCharArray())

Answer 4

You an use .TrimStart() like this:

s.TrimStart('0')

Example:

string s = "000045zxxcC648700";
s = s.TrimStart('0');
//s == "45zxxcC648700"
