Journal tmhsiao's Journal: Python: Strip Leading Zeroes
An algorithm to strip leading zeroes off of a string when you're restricted from using regexes (say, on a Windows CE machine running Python 1.2).
ii = 0
while (string[ii] == '0'):
ii = ii + 1
string = string[ii]
ii = 0
while (string[ii] == '0'):
ii = ii + 1
string = string[ii]
