Remove leading zeros using HiveQL
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Remove leading zeros using HiveQL I have a string value in which i might have leading zero's, so i want to remove all leading zeros. For example: accNumber = "000340" ---> "340" Any UDF is available in Hive? can we use regexp_extract for this? regexp_extract 1 Answer 1 Yes, just use REGEXP_REPLACE() . REGEXP_REPLACE() SELECT some_string, REGEXP_REPLACE(some_string, "^0+", '') stripped_string FROM db.tbl (fixed simple typo with comma) didn't know it.
