• Oracle regular expressions - splits the string into words for

  Hello

  Nice day!

  My requirement is to split the string into words.

  So I need to identify the new line character and the semicolon (;), comma and space like terminator for string entry.

  Please note that I am currently embedded blank and the comma as separator, as shown below.

  Select regexp_substr('test)
  TO
  string in words, "([^, [: blanc:]] +) (', 1, 1) double;"

  How to integrate the semicolons and line break characters in regular expression Oracle?

  Please notify.

  Thanks and greetings

  This has nothing to do with REGEXP. Is SQL * more parser does not not a semicolon at the end of the line:

  SQL > select ' testto, mm\;
  ERROR:
  ORA-01756: city not properly finished chain

  SQL >

  Just break the chain:

  SQL > select regexp_substr ('testto, mm\;' |) '
  2 string into words
  3 \w+',1,level ',') of double
  4. connect by level<= regexp_count('testto,mm\;'="" ||="">
  5 string in words
  6      ','\w+')
  7.

  REGEXP_SUBSTR ('TESTTO, MM\;' |') STRINGIN
  --------------------------------------
  Testto
  mm
  string
  in
  Words

  SQL >

  Or modify SQL * more the character of endpoints:

  SQL > set sqlterm.
  SQL > select regexp_substr ('testto, mm\;)
  2 string into words
  3 \w+',1,level ',') of double
  4. connect by level<=>

• splits the string into 3 parts

  Hello

  I have a requirement to split the string into 3 different room example inf.ethz.ch should be subdivided into inf ethz ch in 3 different column

  We have table called email within this column contains all identification of email we need to divide email with dot (.) in different columns and display please suggest how to implement in the query

  Thank you

  Sudhir

  Use REGEXP_SUBSTR:

  SQL > with t as (select ' inf.ethz.ch' double txt)
  2 Select regexp_substr (txt,'[^.] +') part_1,.
  3 regexp_substr (txt,'[^.] +', 1, 2) part_2,.
  4 regexp_substr (txt,'[^.] +' 1, 3) part_3
  5 t

• 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!

  Hi, Adam.

  Use regular expressions:

  INSERT INTO names (title, fname, lname)
  SELECT  RTRIM (REGEXP_SUBSTR ( fullname
                            , '^.{1,5} '
                      )
             )
  ,     REGEXP_REPLACE ( fullname
                   , '(^.{1,5} )?'       ||     -- \1      = optional 1-5-letter word(s)
                         '(.{1,20})'       ||     -- \2       = 1-20 letters
                  '(( .*)|$)'          -- \3-\4 = space (plus anything) or end
                   , '\2'
                   )

• Splits the string into two columns to dashboard

  Hi all
  
  I got thisworking
  
  decode (SUBSTR (ADDR2_ATTR_1, 1, INSTR(ADDR2_ATTR_1,'-')-1), '9999', NULL, (SUBSTR (ADDR2_ATTR_1, 1, INSTR(ADDR2_ATTR_1,'-')-1))),
  
  decode (SUBSTR (ADDR2_ATTR_1, INSTR (ADDR2_ATTR_1,'-') + 1), '9999', NULL, (SUBSTR (ADDR2_ATTR_1, INSTR(ADDR2_ATTR_1,'-') + 1)))
  
  but the results were a little different.
  
  It came as
  
  Col1 for 8-10 have come beauiful... .but however Col2 data should be in K1 and transferred to Col2
  
  Col1 Col2
  < null > 10
  < null > 33
  8 10
  
  Any guidance is appreciated.

  Personally, I like the cases, but another way using the DECODE method...

  WITH t AS
          (SELECT '8-10' str FROM DUAL
           UNION ALL
           SELECT '163' FROM DUAL

         DECODE (NVL2 (NULLIF (INSTR (str, '-'), 0), 99999, 0),99999, SUBSTR (str, INSTR (str, '-', 1) + 1),NULL) col3
    FROM t;
  

  Simplified:
  ------

  WITH t AS
          (SELECT '8-10' str FROM DUAL
           UNION ALL
           SELECT '163' FROM DUAL

         DECODE (SIGN (INSTR (str, '-')),1, SUBSTR (str, INSTR (str, '-', 1) + 1), NULL) col3
    FROM t;

• 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.

  where ' *' is the separator.

  Desired output:

  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

• Concatenate and split the string

  Hi all
  
  Is there some how we can split the string like this "1 | ~ | Diego | Maradona | ~ | Footballer | The Argentina.
  
  in the table of 3 elements: '1', ' Diego | Maradona', ' football '. The Argentina.
  
  Here is my code

  public static void main(String args[]){

                 String data = "1 |~| Diego|Maradona |~| Footballer|Argentina";
               String[] items = data.split(" |~| ");
               for (String item : items)

               while(tok.hasMoreElements()){
                    System.out.println("item = " + tok.nextToken());

  Split() takes a regular expression. ' | ' has a special meaning in regular expressions.

  Try to use

  " \\|~\\| "
  

  as the argument of split()

  To read none

  Alert (xmlString); / / see if the stingbuild works <-works here 3 times

  Save the function

  var filename = subxmlarray [0] + ".xml";

  var xmlsavelocation = File (xmlfolderpath + filename);

  xmlsavelocation. Open ('w');

  xmlsavelocation.writeln (xmlString); / / Save the string <-works here 3 times, but generates two empty documents!

  xmlsavelocation. Close();

  }

  txtfilelocation. Close();

  wininfo.ImageGroup.JobGroup.infopanelgroup.statusgroup.S2.Text = "Ready"

  wininfo.imagegroup.jobgroup.infopanelbuttons.applyBtn.text = "start";

  wininfo.imagegroup.jobgroup.infopanelbuttons.applyBtn.enabled = true;

  }

  The output:

  

  You will see that I get 3 files but 2 0 bytes.

  The question:

  Why can't I save the other two strings in an xml file?

  Thank you, Daniel

  Resolved:

  Divide the return in the text thus file to do the work function stop.

• split a string into pl/sql

  Hello
  
  How to split a string and store in an associative array in pl/sql.function
  
  My string like this
  
  '1102,1101,1012,1011,1010,1009,1008,1007,1006,10005,1004,1003,1002,1001'
  and assign it to the array list. According to
  can someone please help
  
  concerning
  r

  You can try the following. Although I recommend, it would be better to write the function code php as a java stored procedure parser and use the result. We have a class defined in Java String Tokenizer.

  -- Define function to split string into tokens
  FUNCTION get_token(
      p_input_string IN VARCHAR2,            -- input string
      p_token_number IN PLS_INTEGER,         -- token number
      p_delimiter    IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ',' -- separator character
    )
    RETURN VARCHAR2
  IS
    v_temp_string VARCHAR2(32767) := p_delimiter || p_input_string ;
    v_pos1 PLS_INTEGER ;
    v_pos2 PLS_INTEGER ;
  BEGIN
    v_pos1     := INSTR( v_temp_string, p_delimiter, 1, p_token_number ) ;
    IF v_pos1   > 0 THEN
      v_pos2   := INSTR( v_temp_string, p_delimiter, 1, p_token_number + 1) ;
      IF v_pos2 = 0 THEN
        v_pos2 := LENGTH( v_temp_string ) + 1 ;
      END IF ;
      RETURN( SUBSTR( v_temp_string, v_pos1+1, v_pos2 - v_pos1-1 ) ) ;
    ELSE
      RETURN NULL ;
    END IF ;
  EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      RAISE;
  END get_token;
  
  -- Call the above function in loop for a string with N tokens
  DECLARE
        TYPE assoc_arr_str_typ IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100) INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
        str_arr assoc_arr_str_typ;
  
        v_str VARCHAR2(200) := '1102,1101,1012,1011,1010,1009,1008,1007,1006,10005,1004,1003,1002,1001' ;
        v_token   VARCHAR2(4) ;
        i          PLS_INTEGER := 1 ;
      BEGIN
        LOOP
          v_token := get_token( v_str, i , ',') ;
          EXIT WHEN v_token IS NULL ;
          dbms_output.put_line( v_token ) ;
          str_arr(i) := v_token;
          i := i + 1 ;
       END LOOP ;
    END ;

• Simple question: how to divide the string into multiple lines concatenated?

  Hi people,
  
  Maybe it's an easy question.
  
  How to split a string that is concatenated into multiple lines by using the SQL query?
  
  ENTRY:

  select 'AAA,BBB,CC,DDDD' as data from dual

  Delimiter = ', '.
  
  Expected results:

  data
  ------------
  AAA
  BBB
  CCC
  DDDD

  I'm looking for something nice to feature "an opposite to «sys_connect_by_path»»
  
  Thank you
  Tomas

  with t as (select 'aaaa,,bbbb,cccc,dddd,eeee,ffff' as txt from dual)
  -- end of sample data
  select REGEXP_SUBSTR (txt, '[^,]+', 1, level)
  from t
  connect by level <= length(regexp_replace(txt,'[^,]*'))+1
  
  REGEXP_SUBSTR(TXT,'[^,]+',1,LE
  ------------------------------
  aaaa
  bbbb
  cccc
  dddd
  eeee
  ffff
