Use regular expressions to extract .llb file from the path name

I'm trying to be smart (always a dangerous thing) and use a regular expression to extract the name of a library to a filepath converted to a string.   While I appreciate there are other ways to do this, regex seems to be a very powerful way of neat, I would be able to operate.

IE, if I have a string of type, C:\applications\versions\library.llb\toplevel.vi, I want to be able to extract the library.llb of the string, because it will be of variable length, may include the numbers & spaces and may be located in a file of variable depth hierarchy.   In other words, I want to extract the part of the string between the last-which ends with .llb

The best I managed so far is \\+.*llb who all returned less the drive letter and the toplevel.vi

Can someone help me to achieve this goal, or I'm better by using an alternative method (for example filepath string in array, search for .llb)

Thank you

Matt

Hi Matt,

  • How to extract the value of a tag XML using regular Expressions

    We get a response XML from a WEB SERVICE.

    I convert it to VARCHAR2.

    Now, I want to get the real answer that is inside the tag of the response.

    I tried this:

    DECLARE

    V_1 VARCHAR2 (30000): = ' < soap: Body > < ns:ProcessArgusFeedsResponse xmlns:ns = "urn: PegaRULES:SOAP:ArgusToPegaFeeds:Services" > ' |

    '< response > good < / answer >< / ns:ProcessArgusFeedsResponse > < / soap: Body > ';

    BEGIN

    DBMS_OUTPUT. PUT_LINE (V_1);

    v_response: = REGEXP_SUBSTR (v_1, ' / < >(.+?) < \/Response > answer /');

    dbms_output.put_line (v_response);

    END;

    It does not work.

    Any help would be greatly appreicated.

    Why?  XML has its own native ways of analysis; Why not use them?

    If you use regular expressions, then REGEXP_REPLACE, as shown above, is a good option in Oracle 10, but starting in Oracle 11.1, you can use REGEXP_SUBSTR like this:

    REGEXP_SUBSTR (v_1

    , '(.+?)'

    1

    1

    NULL

    1

    )

    The 6th argument is like a backreference; "He tells REGEXP_SUBSTR did not return to the entire organization, but only the part inside the 1st left '(' et correspondant à sa droite).

    The '?' to make it non-greedy is necessary only if v_1 can contain more than one response.

    Now, I want to get the real answer that is inside the tag of the response.

    I tried this:

    DECLARE

    V_1 VARCHAR2 (30000): = "" |

    'Good';

    v_response VARCHAR2 (100);

    BEGIN

    DBMS_OUTPUT. PUT_LINE (V_1);

    v_response: = REGEXP_SUBSTR (v_1, ' /(. +?)) <\ esponse="">/');

    dbms_output.put_line (v_response);

    END;

    It does not work.

    That's because it's looking for a slash ("/") before the '' tag and another after the ' tag.

    The backslash ("\") is not necessary here, but it is not nothing wrong.

  • Chips with 3 delimiter characters using regular expressions

    Hello world

    I have a function that is able to mark the input in a collection string using regular expressions.

    In case the input string is a character such as the comma or semicolon delimiter,

    We can just get the result we want like the example below.

  5  from tab1
  6  connect by level <= regexp_count(col1, ',')+1;


RESULT
---------------

1234

    But in the case where the channel of entry has 2 types of delimiter and each delimiter consists of 3 characters as below

    I wonder if it is possible to get the result as below.

    The input string: 01| ^ | ABCD| ^ | 111| * | 02| ^ | efgh| ^ | 222

    Separators: | * | is divided into lines, | ^ | is divided into columns

    Expected result:

    col1 col2 col3

    Row1 - > 01 abcd 111

    row2-> efgh 02 222

    Simply put, take a next

    The input string: 01| ^ | ABCD |^| 111 |*| 02 |^| efgh |^| 222

    Separator: | * |

    Result:

    01. ^ | ABCD | ^ | 111

    02. ^ | efgh | ^ | 222

    How can I achieve this using regular expressions?

    Kind regards

    Euntaek

    You need to know the number of the column from the outset:

    with tab1 as)

    Select ' 01 | ^ | ABCD | ^ | 111. * | 02. ^ | efgh | ^ | 222' as double col1

    )

    Select rownum,

    regexp_substr (regexp_substr (col1 '(.*?) ((\|\*\|)| $) ', 1, level, null, 1),'(.*?) ((\|\^\|)| $) ', 1, 1, null, 1) col1,.

    regexp_substr (regexp_substr (col1 '(.*?) ((\|\*\|)| $) ', 1, level, null, 1),'(.*?) ((\|\^\|)| $) ', 1, 2, null, 1) col2.

    regexp_substr (regexp_substr (col1 '(.*?) ((\|\*\|)| $) ', 1, level, null, 1),'(.*?) ((\|\^\|)| $) ', 1, 3, null, 1) col3

    connect by level<= regexp_count(col1,'\|\*\|')="" +="">
