Subject: Regular expressions - string substitution

Hello all,

A quick question if I have a string like so

000000100

and I want to remove the leading 0's to leave me with a string like so

100

What is the best way to do this? initially I was using
string.delete("0") but that obviously deletes every 0 and is not the
desired outcome. I then though string.gsub(/^0/, "") however this only
gets rid of the very first 0. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks a lot
