Bypass Characters in Transformation Rules

I am curious if there is a way to bypass characters in a transformation rule without using a complex expression.

For example,

000485 (Source) -> 458 (Target)

394904 (Source) -> 904 (Target)

I think you could do it with a Mask map: ???* as the source with * as the target should work in theory but I have had mixed success when using * as the target.

If that doesn't work you could create Mask type maps and enter ???485 as the source and then 485 as the target.

Unfortunately, you will need to have ??? on both sides. It would have to look something like ???485 (source) -> ???485 (Target), else it will return on error.

As MarcusH says, a mask mapping with ???485 as the expression and 485 as your target should work. I have a similar mapping mapping ???80 to Target acct 10000
