PL/SQL :: How To Search One String With Various Occurrences Using Regexp_substr
Aug 14, 2012
My Scenario is'....456re0,50kg400,500rfabs43qre30,25kg150,354rf658....'
there is possible,using regexp_substr or other way to get the values, 0,50 and 400,500 and 30,25 and 150,354? I'm using [^re]+[$kg] and the string comes, but only the first occurence..
I can separate numbers from string (info) and the first value of the string using REGEXP_SUBSTR (see below):
with dat as (select '35263304 Alcatel One Touch 806' info from dual) select info, REGEXP_SUBSTR ( info, '[[:digit:]]+',1 ) tac, REGEXP_SUBSTR ( info, '[[:alpha:]]+',1) brand from dat
But how can I get rest of the values from that string (red color) ?
I just would like to get separately like: 35263304 Alcatel One Touch 806
Years ago, someone created a database in Oracle that was carried over and now sits in Oracle 10g. I am developing an application that queries this database and returns the result as XML.
Many (thousands) of rows have an item description that contains an ampersand. I want each of these pieces of data to have it written as & amp; (had to add a space so it would show up here, but you know what I mean) instead of &, but I don't feel like doing thousands of UPDATEs to change this.
Does Oracle have any global find/replace functions that I can call? I'd rather do one update statement that replaces all occurances of & with & amp; but I can't seem to find a function that will do this.
I'm thinking something that would work like:
UPDATE table SET column1=REPLACE(column1,oldstr,newstr);
How can i identify all the occurences of raise_application_error(-20XXX, '<the message>'); within all database objects, and replace them with other text?
The code which I am working on consists of an incoming dynamic string which be in the form of binary digits. The max size of the string will be 12 digits. For example, the string can be '111011000001', '000000000000', '111111011111', etc.
I need to find the number of occurences of '111' in the incoming string. Say in the 1st example, result will be 1, in the 2nd example result will be 0, and in the third example, the result will be 3.
I have been trying to capture the string length and replacing the variables '111' to find the number of occurences, but it isn't giving me the result that I want. This is what I have tried
SQL> conn hr/hr Connected. SQL> show user USER is "HR"
[Code]....
I searched the forum and found a similar topic, and following that guideline, I even tried dividing the string with the length of the pattern. It works in some scenarios (the first and second examples mentioned below), while it fails in some scenarios (third example mentioned below)
SQL> select (length('11101110111') - length(replace('11101110111','111','')))/length('111') as occurences from dual;
OCCURENCES ---------- 3
SQL> select (length('110111110111') - length(replace('110111110111','111','')))/length('111') as occurences from dual;
OCCURENCES ---------- 2
SQL> select (length('111111111111') - length(replace('111111111111','111','')))/length('111') as occurences from dual;
How can I do a selective search on "description" column for any word that starts with the "$" sign? In the end, this is the resultset that I am expecting:
I have table having a single column a, which contain the values "HP Laptop", can search it in either way , i mean to say either user input the HP Laptop or Laptop HP? is it possible via SQL query ?
I want to search for a pattern and replace with a string. I can easily achieve the same in oracle 10g with REGEXP_REPLACE , I want to get the similar solution in 9i.
Eg.
I have to search for a string pattern 1234 5678 9012 6736 , I want to replace the same with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
How can I search the tree with a given string?I don't find any function like "search(...)".I want to find the tree nodes which include the given string.
I am trying to search a word which starts with 'FRA' in any columns and any tables.
I am unable to find what is generating a join datasets in the webservice from teh database as it is not apparent within the 100 tables.
I ahve looked into
Re: How to search in all rows and all columns? Re: SQL Search Query?
but none of these queries is working out for me as I am a user with no tables on its own but rather a user quering other tables.I think its a tweak on which dat a dictionary I can view
select distinct substr (table_name, 1, 14) "Table", substr (t.column_value.getstringval (), 1, 50) "Column/Value" from all_cons_columns, table (xmlsequence (dbms_xmlgen.getxmltype ('select ' || column_name || ' from ' || table_name || ' where upper(' || column_name || ') like upper(''%' || 'fra' || '%'')' ).extract ('ROWSET/ROW/*') ) ) t order by "Table";
running teh above query got me thsi error:
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing ORA-00942: table or view does not exist ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_XMLGEN", line 288 ORA-06512: at line 1 19202. 00000 - "Error occurred in XML processing%s" *Cause: An error occurred when processing the XML function *Action: Check the given error message and fix the appropriate problem
I have a requirement in which i have list pdf files(from thousands of pdf files) having particular string from a command prompt.I have tried find command but that has some limitation. its working upto 3 digit string only.how can i acheive this.remember i have to do this through command prompt only.
I am using apex 4.1. I must hide phone number columns in my IR report, but at the same time the values of that columns should be available to search for using IR Search Field. is there a way to do this ?
if not, that means I have to :
1- Add a text filed P1_PHONE 2- edit my report query to something similar to > Select * from Table where :P1_phone in (mobile1,mobile2) or :p1_phone is null 3- add button to refresh the report.
but the item P1_PHONE should be on the header of the Report region. is there a way to do this. I am using theme 23 page template without sidebars Report template : Reports Region.
how to put the item P1_PHONE on the tab of the page. Just similar to the Search item of in the Application Builder.
My query returns the 3rd field from a CSV string. If the third field in the string is empty I want the select to return a null but it returns the 4th field :
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR( 'A,B,,D,E','[^,]+',1,3) from dual;
.. this returns 'D'.
Can we somehow make the REGEX_SUBSTR return a NULL for the third field ?
I'm trying to get this down from two regexp to a single one, but I'm not sure it can be done and if so, its beyond me to work out how atm.

The expression itself contains all the rules I'm aware of (nothing to say they won't move the goalposts again mind!) of and the desired output is as shown above. I should add that the actual data is more complex (many tags per record) so it rules out a regexp_replace
I'm trying to query an array where we will have mathnames that have the follow format: variablemathname[00000]
have been digging around for a few days to try and simplify my existing query. As of right now i'm hacking it together to bring back the bracketed array value by using INSTR and SUBSTR. This works and gets me the correct results but I want to clean the code up by using regexp_SUBSTR.
In my reading up on regular expression I've tried to create my pattern by using [.] which I believe to be [any character]. I want it to start at the beginning of the string so I've used [^ and I only want the one occurrence so I've ended my expression with ]
I tried using the escape before my pattern as I know that [ is a metacharacter but I receive the same results.i'm trying to use to get the expression correct.
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR('variablemathname[00000]', '[.],[^,],') RESULT FROM DUAL;
My expectation is it will bring back the following [00000] but the way it is written now is bringing back nothing.
I am using embedded sql in a Fortran program on IBM AIX. Whenever I execute a SQL statement other than connect I get a coredump. So I wrote a small test program, but same thing happens. This is the test program -
PROGRAM TEST EXEC BEGIN DECLARE SECTION CHARACTER*20 UDPWD EXEC END DECLARE SECTION [code]....
And then when I run test, I see the 'Connected' print & then coredump. Same thing happens for EXEC SQL Prepare statement. Am I not linking some library ?
I am using regexp_substr to break the pipe delimited string. Want to use the output as the NUMBER input to a cursor.Its not working and not getting any error also.
Here is an example.
initial input : '5545|4124|12456' using the sql below to break the string into columns. select regexp_substr('5545|4124|12456','[^|]+', 1, level)) from dual connect by regexp_substr(, '[^|]+', 1, level) is not null;
But when i try to pass the output of the above query to a cursor with input defined as number, its not accepting. I tried using to_number for the output of above query.
create table eresults (student_name varchar2(20), section_name varchar2(4), exam_id NUMBER (4)) marks NUMBER (3))
[code]....
My requirement is that I need another column named "top scored" which will show how many times each student took highest marks for his Section in each exam_id"
For example in above data the following students "Top scored" for thier respective section in each exam_id:
STUDENT_NAME SECTION EXAM_ID DOLLY A 1 RIZWAN B 1 PAUL C 2 ZAKIR D 2
[code]....
So, based on above my requirement is as below
STUDENT_N SECTION_NAME COUNT(EXAM_ID) SUM(MARKS) MAX(MARKS) top_scored ALEENA C 2 147 91 0 ASIM D 2 68 45 1 ASLAM B 2 70 56 0 ATIF D 2 2 2 0 AYSHA B 2 114 78 0
For every record which came yeterday in table ABC, I need to find if same record data does exists in historical records of the same table, and if match is find, I need to display all the occurrences.
For example Data got inserted yesterday as SQL RES : Col 1= "A" Col 2: "B" Col 3: "C" Date = Sysdate -1
then, I need to scan through Query results from the history where I can find if there exists same combination already.and if so I need to display both i.e Record form yesterday and from history.
Here is the one I am using to get the base data. with base as( select Col 1, Col 2, Col 3,A.Create_DT from A,B where A.ID = B.ID )
I have a table of documents (excel, word, pdf, txt) stored in blob column. I want that SCORE returns the number of occurrences within each document, so I'm using this piece of code:
SELECT bdt.*, SCORE(1) AS score_1, DBMS_CRYPTO.HASH(archivo, 3) AS cod_hashFROM crg_ctx_archivos_recibidos bdt
However I'm getting a maximum score of 10, but I know one of these documents have 490 matches. How can i get the exact number of matches per document? I'm using Oracle 11.2
The M column is used to count the total number of occurrences of a SLOT. Now, as for the N field, this is used to count the occurrence of the SLOT. In my example for the SLOT TRALTEST43S1, it has three occurrences so M will be 3. Why 3, is because of the WIPDATAVALUE. The WIPDATAVALUE of TRALTEST43S1 is 1-2 and 3. 1-2 WIPDATAVALUE signifies two occurrences (one to two) and 3 signifies only one occurrence. As for N, it should just count the number of occurrence. To further explain, see below:
WIPDATAVALUE SLOT N M 1-2 TRALTEST43S1 1 3 -> First occurrence in the total of 3 1-2 TRALTEST43S1 2 3 -> Second occurrence in the total of 3 3 TRALTEST43S1 3 3 -> Third occurrence in the total of 3 4-6 TRALTEST43S2 1 4 -> First occurrence in the total of 4 4-6 TRALTEST43S2 2 4 -> Second occurrence in the total of 4 4-6 TRALTEST43S2 3 4 -> Third occurrence in the total of 4 7 TRALTEST43S12 4 4 -> Fourth occurrence in the total of 4
This is the query that I have so far:
SELECT DISTINCT WIPDATAVALUE, SLOT , LEVEL AS n , m FROM ( SELECT WIPDATAVALUE , SLOT , (dulo - una) + 1 AS m [code]....
I think that my current query is basing its M and N results on WIPDATAVALUE and not the SLOT that is why I get the wrong output. I have also tried to use the WITH Statement and it works well but unfortunately, our system cant accept subquery factoring.
I am trying to create view that selects a number of rows from a table and has a calculated field which is a counter form 1 to n next to each row.
In the below example, s_name is repeated many times each with a differnet serial, I want to cteate a view that shows a counter for the occurences of s_name next to the serial.
CREATE TABLE XYZ ( SERIAL NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, S_NAME VARCHAR2(30) ); INSERT ALL INTO XYZ VALUES (1, 'ABC') INTO XYZ VALUES (11, 'ABC')
here on your forum but has been following several threads ever since.So anyway here is the thing, I have a query that should return count the number of rows depending on the value of SLOT. Something like this:
As you can see above, on the SLOT TRALTEST43S1, there are three occurrences so M (Total number of occurrences) should be three and that column N should count it. Same goes with the SLOT TRALTEST43S2. This is the query that I have so far:
SELECT DISTINCT WIPDATAVALUE, SLOT , LEVEL AS n , m FROM ( [code]...
I think that my current query is basing its M and N results on WIPDATAVALUE and not the SLOT that is why I get the wrong output. I have also tried to use the WITH Statement and it works well but unfortunately, our system cant accept subquery factoring.
