Answer 1

If you don't care about the number of zeros in the string, you can use the following regex:

S 0+[1-9]J

Change the + to a quantifier of the form {number, number} if you want to keep the number of zeros within a specific number. For example, if you want between three to five zeros, you can do S 0{3,5}[1-9]J .

Of course, this is assuming the string is following the format S (a number of zeros)(a digit)J
