remove zeros from the middle of the filename

I have a bunch of files that are of this form: abc_512_004.dat all i need to do is to delete the zeros so that the filename becomes abc_512_4.dat

I have tried all kinds of things including rename 's/^0+//' *.dat and cannot seem to know what to do.

Many thanks for your help!

You can use replace method. You could do

'abc_512_004.dat'.replace("0","");

This will result in 'abc_512_4.dat'. Let me know if it didn't helps.
