Remove first NULL Character in Flat File
We have a flat file with below data :

Code:
^@^@^@^@00000305^@^@^@^@^@^@430^@430^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@09079989530

As we can see ^@ is Null character in this file
I want to remove only the first few null characters before string 00000305
How can we do that, any idea. I want a new file without first few null characters before string 00000305.

Output file format required : 00000305^@^@^@^@^@^@430^@430^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@09079989530
