The clob data analysis - helps in the regular Expression

Hello

Need to analyze a clob and and get its value.

with the temp as

(select '-dn=cn=9245fe4a-d402-451c-b9ed-9c1a04247482,ou=people,dc=idauth-userstore,dc=standardlife,dc=com' as double val)

Select * Temp;

"Analysis to include only the characters after ' dn = cn =" and ending with a comma, so I need to value the O/P as feadcbedca


How to achieve this using regular expressions.


Also is it a useful site to learn Oracle regular expressions for beginners like me.

If yes give me the link, it will be useful.


Thanks in advance

  • The Regular Expressions and GUID.

    Hello gurus, I hope you can help me!
    I need to select GUID from a table and to do this, I need the regular Expression. My
    Perl is not good and not good Regular Expression. My database is Oralce 11.2.0.2.0 and
    Linux (Oracle Version 6) is the operating system of the Machine. If you need further information,
    I'll look closely. Thank you. Jehangir.

    Hi Jehangir and welcome to the forums.

    I need to select the GUID of a table and to do this,

    Well, the first thing we do is read the forum FAQ and also the post by BluShadow
    at the top of the messages on the home page of the forum. You should have provided code (DDL
    and DML) showing your particular problem, but since it's your first time, I'll be gentle ;)

    We have it done - clients have sometimes GUID as PKs, and we need to send data to
    their systems, but it is not as simple as it may first appear.

    GUID may arise in three formats.

    The Oracle one - SELECT Sys_GUID() from DUAL which is just a string of 32 hexadecimal characters.
    Then the chain with the hyphen, then the string with dashes and {} at the beginning and end (see
    examples of data).

    with datax as
    (
      SELECT '79A864CCD8E44CD8B0A2765DF9EF337B' as guid  FROM DUAL  UNION ALL
      SELECT '79A864CFD8E44CD7B0A2765DF9EF337B' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
      SELECT '8gdfsgsgfdg' FROM DUAL UNION ALL  -- dummy for testing

      SELECT '21EC5550-3AEA-1069-A2FF-08002B30309D' FROM DUAL UNION All
      SELECT '{21CC2020-3AFA-1A69-A2DD-08002B30309D}' FROM DUAL
    )
    
    -- first one is the Oracle format
    select * from datax where regexp_like(guid, '[0-9a-fA-F]{32}'); -- Oracle select sys_guid();
    
    -- second one is with hyphens
    
    select * from datax where regexp_like(guid, '[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}');
    
    -- third one is with hyphens and curly brackets.
    
    select * from datax where regexp_like(guid, '^\{[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}\}$');
    
    -- This converts both of the last two formats back into Oracle format, which is what
    -- we use. Notice, that I haven't used regualar expressions to do this. Regexes are
    -- computationally expensive, and you should use Oracle's string furnctions if possible
    
    SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(GUID, '{', ''), '}', ''), '-', '')  FROM Datax;

    Hello world

    I have a problem with the function of regular expression matching,

    I wonder why should I do a subset of the first string to extract only the part of the MAC address. The regular Expression function is not able to recognize the regular expression directly in the middle of a string?

    I only works when I extracted the subset of tring right as in the picture below.

    It is a reference.

    See here:

    and in the middle of the table here:
    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/AppDev.102/b14251/adfns_regexp.htm#CHDIEGEI

    Matches the nth previous subexpression, in other words, either grouped in parentheses, where n is an integer between 1 and 9. The parentheses cause > an expression be remembered; a backreference refers to him. A backreference account subexpressions from left to right, starting with the opening > bracket of each subexpression preceding. The expression is not valid if the source string contains less than n subexpressions preceding the \n.

    Oracle supports the expression of backreference in the regular expression pattern and the replacement of the REGEXP_REPLACE function string.
    The expression (abc: def) matches the strings abcxyabc and defxydef xy\1, but does not abcxydef or abcxy.

    A backreference allows you to search for a string repeated without knowing the actual string advance. For example, the expression ^(.*) \1$ > matches a line consisting of two adjacent instances of the same string.

    As explained in table 4-2, backreferences store sub-expressions matched in a temporary buffer, which allows to reposition the characters. You access the pads with the notation \n, where \n is a number between 1 and 9. Each subexpression brackets and is numbered from left to right.

  • The regular expression problem

    Dear friends,

    In my script I have some sections that test the contents of an edit field before it is processed further.

    Perfectly things like the following:

    var re_Def = /#[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]+/;          // valid variable name ?
    items = ["#correct", "notcorrect", "#This_is4", "#thisIs", "@something", "#ALLOK", "", ];
    // search    0            -1          -1!!        -1!!          -1        -1!!     -1      <--- incorrect method
    // test    true         false         true        true        false       true    false    <--- correct method
    for (var j = 0; j < items.length; j++) {
      var item = items[j];
      alert ("'" + item + "' ==> " +  item.search(re_Def) + "\n" + re_Def.test(item));
    }
    var re_Def = /(\[ROW +\d+\]|\[COL +\d+\]|\[CELL +\d+, +\d+\]|Left *\(\d*\)|Right *\(\d*\)|Above *\(\d*\)|Below *\(\d*\))/;
    items = ["[ROW 17]", "[Row n]", "[ROW n]", "[CELL 3, 9]", "[CELL 3 9]", "Abbove()", "Right(3)"];
    // result  true        false      false         true         false        false         true    
    for (var j = 0; j < items.length; j++) {
      alert ("'" + items[j] + "' ==> " +  re_Def.test(items[j]));
    }
    

    But what follows always returns false, independly of the content of the string element:

    var re_Def = /{[EFJ]\d*}|{I}/;    // valid format def?
    var item = "{E27}";
    var result = re_Def.test(item);
    alert (result);                   // false !!
    

    RegEx buddy told me, that
    -l' REGULAR expression is correct
    -the result must be true, not false

    -The verbose definition of the RegEx is:
    Match is the following regular expression (attempting the next alternative only if this one fails) "{\d* [EYF]}."
    Match the character "{" literally "{}".
    Match a single character present in the list "J" "[EYF]."
    Match a single digit 0. 9 paper"\d*»
    Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving as needed (greedy) «*»
    Match the character "}" literally "}".
    Or match number 2 below (the entire match attempt fails if it cannot match) regular expression "{i}".
    Match the characters "{i}" literally "{i}".

    Typo unrecognized? Test the faulty method?

    Results are fake, as soon as I use the list of characters []] - but look at the first block of code: there are also lists of character they are treated properly.

    The braces in the regular expression must be escaped to be taken literally:

    var re_Def = /\{[EFJ]\d*\}/;

  • How can I refer to a variable in the regular expression

    Hello friends,

    You must link the value of the variable code in the regular expression pattern

    Hello. I'm trying to put in place a masking rule 6.3 DPS data. I want to have the data masking rule apply to any DN that ends with o = ny, c = us. I tried to adjust the target-dn-regular-expressions to ' o = ny, c = us$ '. I thought that if DPS used regular expression match, the $ at the end should serve as an anchor for this channel. But the rule is not fired. I proved it by assigning the expression regular votes to zero and then the target dns to exactly match the dn I'm back. Anyone know what I need to put in the phrase correspond to what I want? Thank you

    The query above, we check a keyword like "WANT."

    -Along with the 'FAULT', we must move to another keyword like 'SHELL '.

    -Have you used or condition operator to above query as shown below

    SELECT *

    WHERE  tih.head_id = fh.head_id 
    and UPPER (tih.head) LIKE UPPER ('%WANTS%') or UPPER (tih.head) LIKE UPPER ('%SHELL%')
    

    -Instead of use 'or' want to use the regular operator, in the future if any other keyword want to use, then we can send this word using dynamically in the process, could help me on this.
