Remove leading zeros from filename

[Chris58]

I have a rule to move files from one folder to another. I would also like Hazel to rename the files — removing any leading zeros from the file name. Any ideas?

I also have the app Better Rename 9, if that helps.

Thanks!

Are the zeros part of a larger number? Can you provide example filenames?

Thanks for response. So, for example:

0138 (2015-01-09) [rest of filename].pdf

I'd like to make it:

138 (2015-01-09) [rest of filename].pdf

Thanks!

You can try using a custom attribute to match the first number. Then when using it in your Rename pattern, you can specify the number of digits for the number. This only really works, though, if the numbers (without the zeroes) have the same number of digits.
