perhaps like that?:

LOAD * where not wildmatch([Current Field],'0*');

LOAD * INLINE [

    Current Field

    00123

    345

    045

    0000563

    5644

];

Hi Kirubakaran,

Find the attached example.

following script checks if the column begins with zero and it checks whether it is alphanumeric, if yes then returns Null,else the values.

Load *,

if(left([Old Field],1)=0 or isnum([Old Field])=0 ,'Null',num([Old Field])) as [New Field];

LOAD [Old Field]

FROM
