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!
Adam

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
                '(( .*)|$)'          -- \3-\4 = space (plus anything) or end
                 , '\2'
                 )
,     REGEXP_REPLACE ( fullname
                 , '(^.{1,5} )?'       ||     -- \1      = optional 1-5-letter word(s)
                       '(.{1,20}( |$))' ||     -- \2-\3 = 1-20 letters and space or end
                       '(.{1,20})?'       ||     -- \4       = 0-20 letters
                '(( .*)|$)'          -- \5       = space (plus anything) or end
                 , '\4'
                 )
FROM     data_table          -- data is not a good name
;

  • 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.

    Hello Salim,

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

    with t as

    (

    )

    Select

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

    , 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

    Hi all

    Have a strings like this, where the delimiter is
    10:00 | x1 | 2 | RO | P | Con ausilio  | y1
    10:10 | x2 | 1 | RO |  |  | y2
    10:20 |x3 | 3 |  |  |  | y3
    10:30 |x4 | 3 | RO | N | Con aiuto  | y4
    10:40 |x5 | 1 | RO |  |  | y5
     
    how can I break it up into columns, for example, the first char(before first pipe) insert in first variable, 
    then, after first pipe,  second characters in a other column ans so on
     
    col1 := '10:00';
     
    col2 := 'x1';
    col3 := '2';
    col4:= 'RO';
    col5 := 'P';
    col6 := ' Con ausilio ';
    col7 := 'y1';
     
     
    col1 := '10:10';
    col2 := 'x2';
    .. and so on
     
    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    If you want to split the string str into 7 columns :

    SELECT  TRIM (BOTH FROM REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^|]+', 1, 1))     AS col1
    ,     TRIM (BOTH FROM REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^|]+', 1, 2))     AS col2
    ,     TRIM (BOTH FROM REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^|]+', 1, 3))     AS col3
    ...
    ,     TRIM (BOTH FROM REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^|]+', 1, 7))     AS col7
    FROM     table_x
    ;
    

    If you want to split it inot 7 variables :

    col1 := TRIM (BOTH FROM REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^|]+', 1, 1));
    col2 := TRIM (BOTH FROM REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^|]+', 1, 2));
    col3 := TRIM (BOTH FROM REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^|]+', 1, 3));
    ...
    col7 := TRIM (BOTH FROM REGEXP_SUBSTR (str, '[^|]+', 1, 7));
    
  • 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[]){
              System.out.println("========USE SPLIT========== " );
                   String data = "1 |~| Diego|Maradona |~| Footballer|Argentina";
                 String[] items = data.split(" |~| ");
                 for (String item : items)
                 {
                      System.out.println("item = " + item);
                 }
                 StringTokenizer tok = new StringTokenizer(data," |~| ");
                 System.out.println("========USE TOKENIZER========== " );
                 while(tok.hasMoreElements()){
                      System.out.println("item = " + tok.nextToken());
                 }
              
         }
    and put it is:
    = USE SPLIT =.
    Item = 1
    Item = |
    Item = |
    Item = Diego | Maradona
    Item = |
    Item = |
    Item = football | Argentina
    = USE TOKENIZE =.
    Item = 1
    Item = Diego
    Item = Maradona
    Item = footballer
    Item = Argentina

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

    Try to use

    " \\|~\\| "
    

    as the argument of split()

    How to split a string and store in an associative array in pl/sql.function

    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.

  • 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

  • Split the string number

    Hello

    I have string like below, and I want to divide and insert the numbers in another column.

    Example of

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

    test012345

    ABC] 9876

    Output should be as below so that once I am able to split can insert into 2 separate table columns

    test 012345

    ABC] 9876

    Try this

    with t as

    (

    Select 'test012345' c all the double union

    [Select ' abc] 9876' double

    )

    Select col1, col2 regexp_replace(c,'[^[:digit:]]') t regexp_replace(c,'[[:digit:]]')

    COL1 COL2

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

    test 012345

    ABC] 9876

    2 selected lines.
