Truncate leading 0 in a CString
Thanks,

:rolleyes: If I have input taken from a CString, is there a way to ignore or truncate leading '0' in it?
Thanks,

I thinks these CString's member functions maybe useful : Find() and Remove().Monch

The way that a string works is that there are only ASCII charactersin the body of the string followed by a terminating null.
CString also uses this convention.
Having a null inside the body of the string is not supported well.
You can force one in. But the CString won't handle it well in all
circumstances.
Try using a CByteArray instead.

hi, cvogt61457!Having a null inside the body of the string is not supported well. Yes! it is correct.
However, Ray Schmidt meant '0' character, not a Nul! :wave:

Thanks for all the comments!!! It's nice to get the help one needs... What I have is a numeric locked edit box only allowing numbers into a CString (or CByteArray which I have not looked up yet). If in the event a number like 00608 were entered, I would only want the 608 to be valid. It looks like I might be able to explore the use of CString::TrimLeft('0'); if it works like what I need above. Any other suggestions are appreciated!!!Thanks,

It seems like this will do the trick!!!m_truncated = atof(m_totruncate);
Converting it to a numeric value and then pass back to CString...

But because it is an integer, you may want to look at using atoi instead?
