Hello to All,

I needs help to combine these together but how would I eliminate necessarily zero in front of "PropertyHouseNumber".

Table: DirectHome

Column fields.......
PropertyHouseNumber, PropertyStreetDirection, PropertyStreetName, PropertyMODE

0000001091 , W , 000026TH , RD

Thank you

RV

[code]declare @s varchar(200)

select @s = '0000001091'

select @s, '_' + replace(ltrim(replace(@s, '0', ' ')), ' ', '0') + '_'[/code]

So then your whole expression is going to be

SELECT replace(ltrim(replace(PropertyHouseNumber, '0', ' ')), ' ', '0') + ', ' + PropertyStreetDirection + ', ' + replace(ltrim(replace(PropertyStreetName, '0', ' ')), ' ', '0') + ', ' + PropertyMODE

Hi all,

Here's an alternative...

declare @s varchar(200)
select @s = '0000001091'
select substring(@s, patindex('%[^0]%', @s), 200)

Solutions are easy. Understanding the problem, now, that's the hard part.
