Need help with nested table

Question

Hi,
I am using the following code which is failing with no data found error.
While if i hardcode the same value the code works.
create table test(input varchar2(10),result varchar2(10));
insert into test values('4093163','SUCCESS')
declare
TYPE acctid_tab IS table  OF varchar2(40);
    acctid       acctid_tab := acctid_tab ();
V_RESULT varchar2(20);
v_input varchar2(40);
i pls_integer;
begin
acctid := acctid_tab('4080402 4093163 64472');
i := acctid.FIRST;
WHILE i IS NOT NULL
LOOP
v_input :=   trim(substr(acctid(i),instr(acctid(i),' ',1),instr(acctid(i),' ',-1,2)));
SElect result into v_result from test
where input = v_input;
      i := acctid.NEXT (i);
   END LOOP;
END;
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at line 14
declare
TYPE acctid_tab IS table  OF  varchar2(40);
    acctid       acctid_tab := acctid_tab ();
V_RESULT varchar2(20);
v_input varchar2(40);
i pls_integer;
begin
acctid := acctid_tab('4080402 4093163 64472');
i := acctid.FIRST;
WHILE i IS NOT NULL
LOOP
v_input :=   trim(substr(acctid(i),instr(acctid(i),' ',1),instr(acctid(i),' ',-1,2)));
SElect result into v_result from test
where input = '4093163';
      i := acctid.NEXT (i);
   END LOOP;
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

I guess you can just do
declare
   v_input varchar2(1000);
begin
   v_input := '4080402 4093163 64472';
   for i in (select input, result
               from test
              where input in (select regexp_substr(v_input, '[^ ]*', 1, level)
                                from dual
                              connect by level <= length(v_input) - length(replace(v_input, ' ')) + 1))
   loop
      dbms_output.put_line(i.input || ' ' || i.result);
   end loop;
end;
/Or even better
declare
   v_input varchar2(1000);
begin
   v_input := '4080402 4093163 64472';
   for i in (select input, result
               from test
              where ' ' || v_input || ' ' like '% ' || input || ' %')
   loop
      dbms_output.put_line(i.input || ' ' || i.result);
   end loop;
end;
