Removing leading zeros on track numbers

Support
1

In Tag&Rename, there is a button that simply removes any leading zeros from whatever form the track number is in. In MP3Tag, there is a quick action. I can use the format: $num(%track%,1)

But that strips away the track total, when the numbers include the total, like: 01/18, 02/18 ...
Okay. There is a quick action $num(%track%,1)/%totaltracks%

But that won't work for the single number, as totaltracks may not be defined, or may be a variant variable.

This makes for a lot of switching back-and-forth. Is there a simpler way to achieve this?

Try an action of the type "Format value" for TRACK
Format string: $regexp(%track%,^0+,)

Thanks. It works. I don't know expressions. They are quite useful.

Now to get the number of keystrokes down. It's three: Alt-Shift-6, enter, enter. (As that is my only quick action.)

There are so many ways ...
you could also use Convert>Tag-Tag and assign a name to that string to recall it with Alt-5.
But: how often do yu have to remove the leading zeros?
I would assume: once for all the ones who got leading zeros in the past.
And in the future you will save the track number without leading zeros, I assume.
