Removing extra zeros concatenated with the number in XSLT

I'm working with XSLT and trying to remove all zeros present before and after the numbers. Examples:

000000004552000 needs to translate to 4552.

Any ideas how to get this done using xslt? Thanks in advance!

Please always say what XSLT version you are using.

In 2.0, you can use replace(num, '^0+|0+$', '').

In 1.0, it's more difficult (everything is).

To remove leading zeroes, use string(number(.)).

To remove trailing zeroes, I think you need a recursive named template with the logic: 

if $param mod 10 = 0 
then call yourself with param = $param div 10
else $param
