deleting 0's from an attribute

Dear,

With in a proces i created an nominal attribute with examples like:
0001
0110
1010
0011
0111
1111
...

I would like to change this attribute deleting all the 0's before the first 1 (while keeping the 0's after the first 1). So the example should look like:
1
110
1010
11
111
1111
...

I tried with the replace operator and a regular axpression, but It seems I don't find the right one...

Thanks a lot,
Ilja

    The Replace operator is the way to go. Please post your process setup so we can have a look at what is going wrong.

    So I was right to try with the replace operator. In that case my main issue would be to find the right regular expression - It seems I do have some issues to build them. And manuals on that?

    I add the process here:

    Just replace "^0+" with "" (empty string), both without quotes. The caret symbol requests that the match must be at the beginning of the string.
