Yury, I believe they only want to remove the leading Zero. Not all zeros.
EDIT: Hmm, I guess that does work. Was thinking you needed to use TOKENS=1* but forgot about how it treats leading delimiters.

Code: Select all
@echo off
type "file.txt" | repl "^0" "" >"newfile.txt"
This uses a helper batch file called `repl.bat` (by dbenham) - download from:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qidqwztmetbvklt/repl.batPlace `repl.bat` in the same folder as the batch file or in a folder that is on the path.

Squashman, this construction is designed to remove only the leading zero (zeros). Try it!

Test this on a directory of test folders - if any of them start with two or more 0 then let me know.
Code: Select all
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /d %%a in (0*) do (
set "folder=%%~nxa"
ren "%%a" "!folder:~1!"
)
