|    Batch file to Stripping zeros from page     |

      From: john.harris57@gmail.com              What I want to do is run batch file to strip of the leading zeros from the       page number at the end of the file name.              I thought of doing this generically but i need the date format left alone.              So 0101 becomes 101 or 090 become 90, 01 becomes 1.              The files will be located in directory/folder.              I started to look at number count to positions, but not sure if that the best       way to do it am a little stuck at the moment suggestion very welcome.              File name = 05-10-2012#MilitaryPkk-#Books_0101.Pdf              As you see the its going to be 4, 3 or 2 digits it will in the file name.              set FRONTEND=%FILENAME:~0,23%       set MIDDLE=%FILENAME:~23,6%       set UNDERSCORE=%FILENAME:~29,1%              set LOGFILE=c:\testLog.txt       echo FRONTEND: %FRONTEND% >> %LOGFILE%       echo MIDDLE: %MIDDLE% >> %LOGFILE%       echo UNDERSCORE: %UNDERSCORE% >> %LOGFILE%              Regards              John Harris              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
