Unable to transform string to number with Flow Designer

[Rafaeloneil]

Hello People,

I'm building a flow designer (Rome Version) where I have a value as a string (007426) and I need to convert it to a number (7426)

or at least remove the leading zeros in order to compare the result with another value

I'm trying to use the resource below (https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/sandiego-servicenow-platform/page/administer/flow-designer/refere...)

but the option doesn't appear for me in the functions step

Do I need to do something different or is it a version issue? In this case how could I be able to perform this operation in the rome version?

007426 is also a number ? not sure if string to number would truly work in this case. it can do something like below

Example

• Input: “500”
• Output: 500

solution : have you tried fx where you can write a function 

s = s.replace(/^0+/, '');

I figured it out

You need to use math function -> Absolute value, it converts 0012345 to 12345
