How to split a string using IndexOf?

How would you split a string using indexOf and not using the .split method?
Any help is appreciated :D
Message was edited by:

would it be better to use the first or the second?
int indexOf(int ch)
Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character.
int indexOf(int ch, int fromIndex)
Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character, starting the search at the specified index.
I think the second would be helpful. so how do i read it?

Try this - may not be the best way but...:
create or replace type myTableType as table of varchar2(255)
declare
v_array mytabletype;
v_new_str varchar2(4000);
function str2tbl
         (p_str   in varchar2,
          p_delim in varchar2 default '.')
         return      myTableType
    as
        l_str        long default p_str || p_delim;
         l_n        number;
         l_data     myTableType := myTabletype();
    begin
        loop
            l_n := instr( l_str, p_delim );
            exit when (nvl(l_n,0) = 0);
            l_data.extend;
            l_data( l_data.count ) := ltrim(rtrim(substr(l_str,1,l_n-1)));
            l_str := substr( l_str, l_n+length(p_delim) );
        end loop;
        return l_data;
   end;
begin
v_array := str2tbl ('12ERE-3MT-4Y,4IT-5O-SD,OP-K5-456,P04-SFS9-098,90P-SSF-334,3434-KJ4-O28,AS3-SFS0-J33,989-3KL-3434', ',');
      FOR i IN 1 .. v_array.COUNT LOOP
         v_new_str := v_new_str || ''''||v_array(i)||'''' || ',';
      END LOOP;
   dbms_output.put_line(RTRIM(v_new_str, ','));
end;
OUTPUT:
=======
'12ERE-3MT-4Y','4IT-5O-SD','OP-K5-456','P04-SFS9-098','90P-SSF-334','3434-KJ4-O28','AS3-SFS0-J33','989-3KL-3434'HTH

How to split a string using sql

Hi All,
I've to write a query where I need to split a string, how this can be done? So let's say a column has value as 1,2,3,4,5 and I want to split this string and output it as:
1
2
3
4
5
Please advise.

Lots of articles:
Snap this user defined function too:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_SplitString_Separator](@InputStr VARCHAR(MAX), @Separator VARCHAR(1))
RETURNS @tmpTable TABLE (OutputStr VARCHAR(MAX))
AS BEGIN
DECLARE @TmpPOS integer
SET @TmpPOS = CHARINDEX(@Separator,@InputStr)
WHILE @TmpPos > 0 BEGIN
IF @TmpPos > 0 BEGIN
INSERT INTO @tmpTable VALUES (LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(@InputStr,1,@TmpPos-1))))
SET @InputStr = SUBSTRING(@InputStr, @TmpPOS + 1, LEN(@InputStr) - @TmpPos)
SET @TmpPOS = CHARINDEX(@Separator,@InputStr)
END ELSE BEGIN
INSERT INTO @tmpTable VALUES (LTRIM(RTRIM(@InputStr)))
SET @TmpPos = 0
END
END
IF LEN(@InputStr) > 0 BEGIN
INSERT INTO @tmpTable VALUES (LTRIM(RTRIM(@InputStr)))
END
RETURN
END
GO
And you can use like this:
SELECT * FROM DBO.[ufn_SplitString_Separator]('1,2,3,4,5',',')
"If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe!"

How to split a string for 2 different matching patterns?

hey guys
i'm trying to split a string, using .split(regular expression), if two different pattern matches but i don't know the exact syntax for it. I want to split the string from letters and punctuations.
This is what i'm doing, obviously it's not working, i'm not too sure if syntax are correct.
String inputDigit [] = input.split("([a-zA-Z]) (\\p{Punct})");Please help me with this, thank you!

Can you describe in more detail what you're trying to
accomplish?ok, basically if you have a string which consists of letters, digits and punctuations. All i'm trying to do or want to do is store all digist within that string into an array. Therefore, i'm using split method to split the string wherever you find a letter or a punctuation. But i don't know what is syntax for using two different patterns at the same time.
// For example if you have a string "Eeyore 61 2.986PoohPiglet007Kanga-23"
// i only want: 61 2 986 007 23. I know i can use substring // but that would be a slightly long process

Split a string using Match Pattern function

I am trying to split a response string from a climate chamber into different parts. The string goes something like this: 0030.0\s0034.6\s0080.0\s0083.4. I am using the match pattern function to split the string using \s as the search string. But it is not splitting the string as required. If I use only \ , its working fine. Can anyone please suggest why \s is not being recognised as a part of the input string?
Subhro.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Is the string you show in normal display mode or in \ codes display mode?
Anyway, if you need to match a '\' character you'll have to mask it using \, so the match string would be '\\s' to match '\s'.
Alternatively you could use spreadsheet string to array with the correct delimiter. For the data you show this would work perfectly.

How to split a string into tokens and iterate through the tokens

Guys,
I want to split a string like 'Value1#Value2' using the delimiter #.
I want the tokens to be populated in a array-like (or any other convenient structure) so that I can iterate through them in a stored procedure. (and not just print them out)
I got a function on this link,
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/11692/0/
which returns a VARRAY. Can anybody help me how to iterate over the VARRAY, or suggest a different alternative to the split please ?
Thanks.

How to split a string having string as delimiter instude of char?

Hello Gurus,
I want to split the string and work on each split string.
The following code will do, but not exactly.
It's split into morethan three strings, where coma find.
But I want to split it using #,# as delimiter.
Here is my code:
//File fileData = new File("myfile.txt");
// This will have coma separated fields data
// while traversing this file will readLine() give the string, that is strRecord
// BufferedReader bfrdRdrObj = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strDataFile));
//while ((strThisLine = bfrdRdrObj.readLine()) != null) {..........
String strRecord = #A001#,#User1#,#this is record, so need to split and place, insert into table#;
StringTokenizer strTknRec = new StringTokenizer(strRecord,"#,#");
int iCounter=0;
while(strTknRec.hasMoreTokens()){
System.out.println(++iCoutner+"Field: "+strTknRec.nextToken());
Please, give me hint.
Thanks in advance.
~ SubbaReddy .M

Hello Guru,
Here "myfile.txt" CSV file.
each line represented treated as a record and coma seperated string is treated as fields.
But, one of the fields data may have the coma in the string itself. So, # or " (double quote) has been place before and end of the field data as a string qualifier.
//File fileData = new File("myfile.txt");
// This will have coma separated fields data
// while traversing this file will readLine() give the string, that is strRecord
// BufferedReader bfrdRdrObj = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strDataFile));
//while ((strThisLine = bfrdRdrObj.readLine()) != null) {..........
String strRecord = #A001#,#User1#,#this is record, so need to split and place, insert into table#;
StringTokenizer strTknRec = new StringTokenizer(strRecord,"#,#");
int iCounter=0;
while(strTknRec.hasMoreTokens()){
System.out.println(++iCoutner+"Field: "+strTknRec.nextToken());
And I would like to run this JRE 1.3.1
Hope, String.split() in JRE 1.4.0 beta will some what resolve this.
But, how to do it on JRE 1.3.1
Please, give me hint.
Thanks in advance.
