Best way to remove leading zeros from a QString

Question

What do you guys/gals think would be the best way to remove leading zeros from a QString?

I am dealing with numbers like:

099900000002
008800000031
88800000043

Do I have to iterate over every character, one at a time, or is there a more elegant way using the QString::replace() function that I haven't thought of?

Answer 1

Remove any number of zeros from the beginning of a string:

myString.remove( QRegExp("^[0]*") );

Answer 2

I looked at the QString doc and there is none which will be simple and while being explicit of what you want to do. Just write like this

void removeLeadingzeros(QString &s){

 int i = 0;
 while(i < s.length() && s[i]=='0'){
  i++;
 }

 s.remove(0,i);
}
