How to use expression script to trip off all trailing non-numeric character

Question

Hi,
I used JDev11.1.1.2.
Now a field value like “7.5.3.10BQF”, “7.8.2.XFP”, and another dynamic LOV depends on this value to filter, so we want to trip off all trailing non-numeric characters (including whitespace and periods), for example to “7.5.3.10BQF”, we will filter LOV using "%7.5.3.10%",for "7.8.2.XFP", we will filter LOV using "%7.8.2%".
But I don't know how to write groovy expression to implement this function.
Any advice will be great help.
thanks,

Hi,
The third syntax you used is correct i.e.
DW_CRF.PKG_LPS_CRF_LOAD_TRANS.sp_load_target(''LOAD_CRF'', ''LOAD_LOAN_TRAN'', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, NULL);
Alternatively you can use
DW_CRF.PKG_LPS_CRF_LOAD_TRANS.sp_load_target(''LOAD_CRF'', ''LOAD_LOAN_TRAN'', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '''');
all the other calls give syntax errors that are expected. The third call is giving an application error which you will need to look into (maybe starting at "DW_CRF.PKG_LPS_CRF_LOAD_TRANS", line 958). One thing that may help clarify things is if you were to switch to naming your parameters e.g. target_name=>''LOAD_CRF'' since that helps clarify exactly what parameter is called with which value.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.
