Match_parameter is a text literal that lets you change the default matching behavior of the function. If you specify a positive integer n, then Oracle replaces the nth occurrence. If you specify 0, then Oracle replaces all occurrences of the match. Occurrence is a nonnegative integer indicating the occurrence of the replace operation: The default is 1, meaning that Oracle begins the search at the first character of source_char. Position is a positive integer indicating the character of source_char where Oracle should begin the search. For more information on backreference expressions, please refer to the notes to "Oracle Regular Expression Support", Table C-1. If n is the backslash character in replace_string, then you must precede it with the escape character ( \\). The replace_string can contain up to 500 backreferences to subexpressions in the form \n, where n is a number from 1 to 9. If replace_string is a CLOB or NCLOB, then Oracle truncates replace_string to 32K. Replace_string can be of any of the datatypes CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, CLOB, or NCLOB. For a listing of the operators you can specify in pattern, please refer to Appendix C, "Oracle Regular Expression Support". If the datatype of pattern is different from the datatype of source_char, Oracle Database converts pattern to the datatype of source_char. It is usually a text literal and can be of any of the datatypes CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, or NVARCHAR2. It is commonly a character column and can be of any of the datatypes CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, CLOB or NCLOB. Source_char is a character expression that serves as the search value. For more information, please refer to Appendix C, "Oracle Regular Expression Support". This function complies with the POSIX regular expression standard and the Unicode Regular Expression Guidelines. The function returns VARCHAR2 if the first argument is not a LOB and returns CLOB if the first argument is a LOB. The string returned is in the same character set as source_char. By default, the function returns source_char with every occurrence of the regular expression pattern replaced with replace_string.
REGEXP_REPLACE extends the functionality of the REPLACE function by letting you search a string for a regular expression pattern. 20.02.Description of the illustration regexp_replace.gif
#MYSQL REGEX REPLACE HOW TO#
Below is the source code of my function DELIMITER $$ CREATE FUNCTION `regex_replace`(pattern VARCHAR(1000),replacement VARCHAR(1000),original VARCHAR(1000)) RETURNS VARCHAR(1000) DETERMINISTIC BEGIN DECLARE temp VARCHAR(1000) DECLARE ch VARCHAR(1) DECLARE i INT SET i = 1 SET temp = '' IF original REGEXP pattern THEN loop_label: LOOP IF i>CHAR_LENGTH(original) THEN LEAVE loop_label END IF SET ch = SUBSTRING(original,i,1) IF NOT ch REGEXP pattern THEN SET temp = CONCAT(temp,ch) ELSE SET temp = CONCAT(temp,replacement) END IF SET i=i+1 END LOOP ELSE SET temp = original END IF RETURN temp END$$ DELIMITER Note: If you are using MySQL version 5.0.1 or higher, make sure you set the NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES mode ON, before you use the above function to replace any characters which are escaped with back slash “”, ie: A,B,etc… See how to set the NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES mode here Example on how to use this function mysql> select regex_replace('','','2my test3_text-to.
I gave up searching finally and wrote my own “regex_replace” MySQL function.
#MYSQL REGEX REPLACE INSTALL#
There was one called UDB but that’s also you need to install a module and stuff like that. Hi All, Recently I came across a requirement where I had to cleanse the data that I’m inserting in to MySQL database using regular expressions, so I started searching for a function to do this on MySQL, but unfortunately I couldn’t find any.
