I just ran...
<cfset myVal = '000000000009970656'>
<cfoutput>
<p>#reReplace(myVal,'^0','','ALL')#</p>
</cfoutput>
and it does indeed replace only the first 0, it needs "^0+" if you
want to strip them all.
The function doesn't do an recursion and only the first "0" is next to
the start (^) of the string.
