Say I have a text string like

"0002323235-3434-3545" and I want to remove the leading zeros, would a
regular expression work here? sorry I haven't worked with regex's that much
and still need to get caught up on them if so how would you go about
doing that? thanks!

Check out the TrimStart method of the string class. You pass it a character
array of characters to remove - in this case, the array will have one
character, the "0".

I would use this code:

\\\
Dim s As String = "000012"
MsgBox(s.TrimStart("0"c))
///
