Remove leading zeros in powershell

Question

I have several strings and try to remove the leading zeros for them. I know I can use TrimStart() but it's wrong if all numbers are zero.

$Test = "00000.22"
$Test = $Test.trimstart('0')

The result is .22 and what I expect is 0.22. How can I achieve it? Thank you.

Answer 1

You can use type conversion to decimal

$Test = "00000.22"
[decimal]$Test
