>I am using WinMerge to compare two files that are the result of two different processes. I am seeing a lot of differences but most are associated with one file containing a column with extra (meaningless) zeros (0).

>I know I can write a function (using a DO WHILE loop) that will return the value with trailing zeros removed but is there a better, more optimal solution? Here is what I have for now:
