I've written a function to print elapsed time similar to /usr/bin/time

It's caused by the difference in these 2 command strings but I can't for
the life of me see what's going on.
now='09:07:16'; startHr=${now%%:*}; startHR=${startHr#*0}; echo $startHr;
09
str=09; str=${str#*0}; echo $str;
9
Did you mean to echo $startHR - capital 'R' - in the first one? That is
'9' as you are expecting ;)
