Hello there, I am trying to find a way to create an action which will detect and remove leading zeros in album names from 1-9 and then leave the remaining album names from 10 (goes up to 90) alone.

Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 01  
to  
Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 1

Can someone please tell me how I can achieve this?

Thanks.

You could use a simple Replace action  
Search string: ` 0`  
(reads: blank-zero)  
Replace string:` `  
(reads: blank)

Will that not take out any number including 0? Like 10, 20, 30 etc?

The search string I suggested does not match

as there is no space character in front of the zero
