Format Text to Number

Hello,

I have the following values in a field (they are formatted as text, aligned at left in data):

00000000000000026287

00000000000000018306

00000000000000019008

00000000000002726211

00000000000003521228

What I need is to set them like this (taking out the zeros and format them to number):

26287

18306

19008

2726211

3521228

Is there any way to do that?

Thank you!!!

Script:

TABLE:

LOAD

TEXT(F1) AS F1_NUM;

LOAD * INLINE [

    F1

     00000000000000026287

     00000000000000018306

     00000000000000019008

     00000000000002726211

     00000000000003521228

Can you use Field * 1 ???

May be try this

Num#(Replace(LTrim(Replace(FieldName, '0', ' ')), ' ', '0')) as FieldName

Num(Evaluate(FieldName)) as FieldName

Both works... but yours is much cleaner

TABLE:

LOAD F1,

Num#(Replace(LTrim(Replace(F1, '0', ' ')), ' ', '0')) as F1_Sunny,

Num(Evaluate(F1)) as F1_Manish;

LOAD * INLINE [

    F1
