NSString by removing the initial zeros?

Question

How can I remove leading zeros from an NSString?

e.g. I have:

NSString *myString;

with values such as @\"0002060\"

Answer 1

In addition to adali's answer, you can do the following if you're worried about the string being too long (i.e. greater than 9 characters):

NSString *str = @"000200001111111";
NSString *strippedStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%lld", [temp longLongValue]];

This will give you the result: 200001111111

Otherwise, [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [temp intValue]] will probably return 2147483647 because of overflow.
