That will give you every one that has at least one non-numeric character, if you want ones which contain no numeric characters then it should be
regexp_like(A,'^[^0-9]*$')

  • Format string using Regular Expression

    Input string output format...
    SELECT q'<select ab_c "ABC", efg "EFG" from dual>' str FROM DUAL
    Output:
    STR                                 
    select ab_c "ABC", efg "EFG" from dual
    Required output format using regular expression...
    STR                                 
    select 'ab_c' "ABC", 'efg' "EFG" from dual

    Regular expressions have many limitations as parsing tools, and you didn't specify the rules you wanted. This expression puts quotes around the non blank string before a quoted string:
    SELECT regexp_replace(q'<select ab_c "ABC", efg "EFG" from dual>',
                          '([^" ]+)( +"[^ ]*")' , '''\1''\2' ) str FROM DUAL;
    STR
    select 'ab_c' "ABC", 'efg' "EFG" from dual
    {code}
    It is not robust - a missing " will confuse it, and you should be using bind variables anyway.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • Spliting a large string using regular expression which contain special char

    I have huge sting(xml) containing normal character a-z,A-Z and 0-9 as well as special char( <,>,?,&,',",;,/ etc.)
    I need to split this sting where it ends with </document>
    for e.g.
    Original String:
    <document>
    <item>sdf</item>
    <item><text>sd</text</item>
    </document>
    <document>hi</document>
    The above sting has to be splited in to two parts since it is having two document tag.
    Can any body help me to resolve this issue. I can use StringTokenizer,String split method or Regular expression api too.

    I used DOM and sax parser and got few exception. Again i don't have right to change xml. so i thought to go with RegularExpression or some other way where i can do my job.If the file actually comes in lines like what you posted, you should just be able to compare the contents of each line to see if it contains "</document>" or whatever you're looking for. I wouldn't use regex unless I needed another problem.
    I got excpetion like: Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared.

    Edit: sorry, I just realized why you're considering all of these heavy-duty ideas. It's just that you don't know how to break the string into lines. You do it like this:
    BufferedReader  br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(theNotXMLString));

  • Filter String using Regular Expression

    Hello,
    I have an application that monitors serial communication between a PC and device.  The message protocol is a byte stream that I convert to a string to parse into pretty messages.  The start of the string is always "10 02", but if the string is preceded with another "10" like this "10 10 02" it is part of a message.  I've been trying to use a regular expression with the Search and Replace VI.  My regex is "[^10]\s10\s02" which almost works but it cuts off part of the message:
    Before:
    10 03 10 02
    After:
    10 0   <= missing the "3"
    10 02
    Here's what I'm doing:
    Any ideas on what I'm missing?  I've attached a simple example.
    Thanks

    Try this approach.
    Do search and replace on '10\s02' and replace with '\r\n10\s20'
    Then do another search and replace on '10\r\n\10\s20'  with '10\s10\s20'
    See attached.

  • Dumbfounded by Scanner processing String using regular expression

    I was reading Bruce Eckel's book when I came across something interesting: extending Scanner with regular expressions. Unfortunately, I was confronted with an issue that doesn't make much sense to me: if the String that I am scanning contains a hyphen, the Scanner doesn't produce anything. As soon as I take it out, it all works like a charm. Here is my example:
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.regex.*;
    public class StringScan {
    public static void main (String [] args){
         String input = "there's one caveat when scanning with regular expressions";
         Scanner scanner = new Scanner (input);
         String pattern = "[a-z]\\w+";
         while (scanner.hasNext(pattern)){
              scanner.next(pattern);
              MatchResult match = scanner.match();
              String output = match.group();
              System.out.println(output);
    }What could be the reason? I imagined it could be because the hyphen for some reason gets given a special meaning but when I tried escaping it, it still didn't work.

    Thanks for your prompt reply.
    I have figured out what was wrong with my code, by the way. Since a single quote is not a word character, it does not match w+. And as the very first input token does not match, the scanner stops immediately. I rewrote my regex to "[a-z].*" and now it does work.

  • How to Capture Multiple Line String using Regular Expression?

    Hi, 
    I have a simple program like this:
    What I want to accomplish is to capture everything between >>start and >>end using a single Match Regular Expression node. It seems that setting multiple? to True or False does not help.
    I am using LabVIEW 2012.
    If it is impossible to capture it using a single node, that is fine. But I want to make sure that I can make full use of this node without combining serveral others.
    Thank you!

    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for the fast response! Your solution worked in the example case
    After I saw your post, I was finally able to step forward. But I still wanted to make use of dot notation due to the limitation of characters that match with \w. 
    I made some more modification to your regular expression then now it seems working for all characters:
    >>start((?:\s|.)*)>>end
    Thanks!

    user12240205 wrote:
    ... Frank, ʃʃp's method, I understand. But your method, although correct, I find it difficult to understand.
    Could you explain how you did this?? What does '.*(\d{5})\D*' and '\1' mean???
    Your method is better because it uses only ONE reg expression function. ʃʃp's uses 2.In Oracle 10.2 (I believe) and higher, '\d' is equivalent to '[[:digit:]]', and '\D' is equivalent to '[^[:digit:]]'. I find '\d' and '\D' easier to type, but there's nothing wrong with using '[[:digit:]]' and '[^[:digit:]]'.
    '.*' means "0 or more of any character".
    '\D*' means "0 or more non-digits".
    The whole expression, '.*(\d{5})\D*' means:
    a. 0 or more characters (any characters)
    b. 5 digits
    c. 0 or more non-digits.
    '\1' is a Backreference . It means the sub-string that matched the pattern after the 1st '(', up to (but not including) its matching ')'. In this case, that means the sub-string that matched '\d{5}', or b. using the explanation immediately above.
    So the entire REGEXP_REPLACE call means "When you see a sub-string consisting of a., follwed immediately by b., followed immedately by c., replace that sub-string with b. alone."

  • Using Regular Expressions to replace Quotes in Strings

    I am writing a program that generates Java files and there are Strings that are used that contain Quotes. I want to use regular expressions to replace " with \" when it is written to the file. The code I was trying to use was:

    temp = temp.replaceAll("\"","\\\\\"");
    however, this does not work and when i print out the code to the file the resulting code appears as:
    String someVar = ""Hello" i am a "variable"";
    and not as:
    String someVar = "\"Hello\" i am a \"variable\"";
    I am assumming my regular expression is wrong. If it is, could someone explain to me how to fix it so that it will work?

    Hi,
    Here's one way:
    REPLACE ( REGEXP_REPLACE ( txt
                    , '.*<R>(.*)</R>.*'
                    , '\1'
         , '|'
         )This assumes there is only one <R> tag in txt.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using. The expression above will work in Oralce 10 and up, but starting in Oracle 11 you can use REGEXP_SUBSTR rather than the less intuitive REGEXP_REPLACE.
