Hi Wendell Thanks for your time. Your solution works perfect to just remove all the zeros in the given string. The one you mentioned does the following 000125000 -- 125 0012300 -- 123 01234 -- 1234 But I am looking at something which would remove preceding zeros and retain the zeros after the no. Eg. 000125000 -- 125000 0012300 -- 12300 01234 -- 1234 Thanks Nischal --- Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Nischal, > > Try the XPath function number($string) in your XSLT > and see if it does what > you want.
