Need to remove leading zeros from Property before used as input to service

Testing a CreateOrder SOAP service which returns an order number with leading zeros

e.g. 0000133456

 

This is input to GetOrder service which does not take leading zeros.  Using Property/Property transfer step to

read property into the GetOrder service but need to remove the leading zeros from the property

 

What is the best way to do this?

a. Is there a way to remove leading zeros in Property Transfer step

b. Can I remove leading zeros in the field input of GetOrder SOAP service?

 

Call in GetOrder Service looks like this

${InternalOrderNumber Property Transfer#InternalOrderNumber}

    Another approach which worked for the field input

     

    ${=context.expand('${InternalOrderNumber Property Transfer#InternalOrderNumber}') as int}

    You get the property value of this :- ${InternalOrderNumber Property Transfer#InternalOrderNumber}

     

    And store to String and apply any of the below approach:-

     

    1. Using java/groovy regex

     

    String s = "000004DR"

String fvalue = s.replaceFirst("^0*", "")

log.info fvalue

//It will pint like this:-

    2. Using StringUtils class of apache

     

    //For this you need to import

import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils

String fvalue = StringUtils.stripStart("000004DR","0")

log.info fvalue

//it will also print like this:-

    Hope, This helps you out.
