in thread Should be a simple spaces/digits regex....but I'm turning grey!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ9V99 is just a COBOL field definition, meaning if the leading digits are 0, don't print them,
hence a value of 9.99 with a definition of ZZ9V99 would print as 9.99,
a definition of 999V99 would result in 009.99 being shown
