How can I remove all the leading zeros in callers entires?

FreePBX Configuration

I use read asterisk command to ask customer to enter a customer number and sometimes they add zero to their custno. Dont know how many 0 they may add. Let say they enter 00123 or 0123 and I am looking for 123. How can I strip these zeros?

exten => 9801001,1,Read(CustNum,custom/CCR0001,8,1,4)

These will probably help. If it’s always the last X digits of the customer entry, you probably only need the first link.

I think:

$[0+${CustNum}]

might work, as I can’t see any warnings about initial 0s signalling octal.

Otherwise use the dialplan expression regular expression operator.
