How to split a string into several substrings parent using a delimiter

Hello

I am forced to split a string into several substrings parent using a delimiter.

And insert these substrings in variuou of the columns of a table in a row.

For example. The sting is: ABC * DEF * GHI * JKH *.

where ' *' is the separator.

Desired output:

Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5

-------     --------     --------     -------     ---------

JKH GHI ABC DEF (null)

Could you please guide me how can I achieve this.

Thank you

Hello Salim,

Leave the thread for reference... got this excerpt:

with t as

(

Select "c: its: hgfd:1:23" Str

)

Select

REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, ' ([^:] *)(:|$)', 1, 1, null, 1) col1

, REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, ' ([^:] *)(:|$)', 1, 2, null, 1) col2

, REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, ' ([^:] *)(:|$)', 1, 3, null, 1) col3

, REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, ' ([^:] *)(:|$)', 1, 4, null, 1) col4

, REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, ' ([^:] *)(:|$)', 1, 5, null, 1) col5

t;

This code snippet works well, but for the fixed columns. Here are 5 predefined columns.

But I need to have a logic that I can browse the string any No.. sometimes.

For example. If I get 3 secondary channels of the parent chain... I need to insert into 3 columns.

And if I get 6 strings under... I need to insert into 6 columns.

Could you please help me develop a logic like that.

I use Oracle database 10g.

And the data are currently being collected on external table... but I can store in a variable or a column of a database table.

Thank you

  • How to split large files into several small files

    MS7

    I have a big file (20 GB) I want multi folders to back up on a DVD.

    A few quick options-
    -You can either make new folders in the same location as the folder that you want to reduce the size of,.
    EG - C:\ YourUsername\My Documents\
    or make new 'Sub-folders"in the files in the folder in question and to move towards these new records before
    the copy.
    - Or, you can create separate folders on the DVD and copy groups of files in these folders.

    You can also consider doing a disc external HARD for these past and future backups.

  • SQL / PLSQL to split the string into pieces

    Hi all

    I have a problem of data conversion from the name of one table to another structure.

    for example

    SQL > desc names
    Name Null? Type
    ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
    TITLE VARCHAR2 (5)
    FNAME VARCHAR2 (20)
    LNAME VARCHAR2 (20)

    SQL > Data desc
    Name Null? Type
    ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
    FULLNAME VARCHAR2 (50)


    Insert in data values ("SIR I HAVE ONE NAME PARTICULARLY LONG INDEED");
    Insert in the data values ("MINE IS EVEN MORE, ENOUGH RIDICULEMENT so IN FACT");

    Essentially, I need to divide these names long, stored in the 1 field, in the above 3 fields. The trickiest part is however I want to do it in such a way so that if the 1st part of the name fits the 1 5 char field I want to do, otherwise I would divide between 2 fields - once again without splitting a string. The reason behind this is that application will automatically put a space between each field when they appear and I would avoid gaps in the names if possible.

    This baffled me a little if any help would be seriously great... it might not even be a go-er, as it might be too uneconomic with the amount of available space, but I would give it a shot.

    Thank you!
