Stripping away the zero's

[SLG]

I have a string of numbers in sequential order starting at 00001 and going all the way up to 99999. Ex:

00001
00022
00345
00561
01304
20292

What I want is the same list but with out the zeros so it looks like

1
22
345
561
1304
20292

How would I go about that?

Thanks in advance!!!

cat list.txt | awk '{printf("%d\n",$1)}'

well.. cat is not necessary:

awk '{printf("%d\n",$1)}' list.txt

(obviously, list.txt has all numbers)

Sweet! That works like a charm thanks!

Another way:
sed 's!^00*!!' /path/to/input > output

Hope This Helps, PH.
