RE: Removing leading zeros from String like 000747-918

Currently we are using Apache-Xalan which supports XSLT1.0. As the format is not fixed I can not use the second solution(concat(.....)). But will use the replace() once XSLT2.0 is supported in Xalan.

Thanks

here's an xslt 1.0 one liner:

<xsl:value-of
select="concat(number(substring-before(.,'-')),'-',substring-after(.,'-'
))"/>

I prefer v2.0 :)
