Remove Leading 0's from Alphanumeric String - Javascript

Hello, 

 

I wrote the following JS so I can remove leading zeroes from an Alphanumeric field. However when I run the code - the field is not dropping the leading zeroes. 

 

Instead I get the same value. I feel like I'm missing something. The field I'm loading is a string value, but it looks like the replace is being ignored.

This worked. Thank you. I knew I was missing something small. 

Thank you so much! 

 

I also ran it this way based on a recommendation, and this worked as well. 

 

var res = new String(results[0].@image1)
