title: How to remove leading zeros from numeric text?
body: <p>I am using this to remove leading zeros from my input string.</p>
  
  <pre><code>return a.replaceAll("^0+",""); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the above string even removes from any string which is alphanumeric as well. I do not want to do that. My requirement is:</p>
  
  <p>Only the leading zeros of numeric numbers should be removed e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>00002827393 -&gt; 2827393
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If you have a alpha numeric number the leading zeros must not be removed e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>000ZZ12340 -&gt; 000ZZ12340
  </code></pre>
