How to search and display with render

peruaners

Hi!
Can anyone help me with a string to search and display all numbers in a column that starts with a zero. Attached code is ok but just search and displays the specific number, otherwise it displays an url in that row.

"columnDefs": [ {
"targets": 7,
"data": "book",
"render": function ( data, type, full, meta ) {
return data == '0156' ? '0156' : '<a href="'+data+'">Book online</a>';
}
} ]

columns: [ 
     {   data: "book",
         render: function ( data, type, row ) {
              if (row.book.substring(0,1) == '0') {
                  return row.book;
               } else {
                  return '<a href="'+row.book+'">Book online</a>';
               }
           }    
       }
 ]
