Scripting help required please

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm currently stuck on an issue with some data within a field in one of my tables. The field is named INDXFLD and is currently formatted to look like this:

• 000047398F

The issue I have is I need to reformat it so the 'F' is at the beginning and the preceeding zero's are removed, it should end up looking like this:

• F47398

Can anyone help me please, the number of zero's can change but it will always start with the first digit which isn't a zero.

Thanks is advance.

something like this maybe: right('000047398F',1)&num(left('000047398F',9),'0')

it can be something like this ...

=right('000047398F',1)&''&num(left('000047398F',9))
