I have a database with the following fields. lname fnam M acct# mrm birth Postdate Post# drln drfn m disch DOE,JOHN,R,00037839842,207337,02151956,04072003,01980,LastName,FirstName,L,04102003
I have a very simple script which splits the delimiter , and shows the result in the same format as in database. I want to do following things using regex, but I have tried my options to my level best, ::) no results yet, 1- Remove all the leading 000 from any field like acct# = 00037839842 should be 37939842 and Post# should be 1980 2- Want to format dates like birth = 02151956 should be 02/15/1956 Any help?? Thanks, Sara.
