How to convert version number to numerical value

[splunkyj]

How do I convert the following string value to a numerical value that represents two digits between the dots?

version = 7.10.23.1

I would like for this to be converted to a numeric value:

version = 07102301

The zero before the 7, does not need to show. I just need to be able to perform <> conditional or comparison functions. I appreciate your help.

| eval version = "7.10.23.1"
| rex field=version mode=sed  "s/\b(\d)\b/0\1/g s/\.//g"
