5 rows selected.I will be getting multiple values as input which will be separated by "[#|#]"
I need to identify and splitup values based on it and to do my process.
I have already asked similar question, but still struggling with that since the values i get in the Text is not restricted to any specific character so that not works on replacing the separator "[#|#]" by some character and using REGEXP_SUBSTR.
I need to work around some thing like below code,
DECLARE
    vInfo   VARCHAR2(4000) := 'cropX=42,cropY=0,Text=`$@@@@@@####[##][##][#|#]cropX=42,cropY=0,Text=`$@@@@@@####[##][##]';
    vDet    VARCHAR2(4000);
    vPos    INTEGER := 1;
    LOOP
        * vDet    := REGEXP_SUBSTR(vInfo,'[#|#]',1,vPos); *
        EXIT WHEN vDet IS NULL;
        vPos := vPos+1;
        -- My Process Here based on splitted values here
        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(vDet);
    END LOOP;
END;  Suggest me to work out this.
Thanks,

Answer 1

B'coz
Not just one value which i need to split. There are so multiple variables i need to with different separator.
Thanks for suggestion, I have STR2TBL already installed and working with that.
But not sure whether i can combine my requirement with that and to work out this ?
DECLARE
   vId      VARCHAR2(50) := '1,2,3';
   vIdValue INTEGER;
   vName    VARCHAR2(40) := 'Name1,Name2,Name3';
   vInfo    VARCHAR2(4000) := 'cropX=42,cropY=0,Text=`$@@@@@@####[##][##][#|#]cropX=42,cropY=0,Text=`$@@@@@@####[##][##]';
   vDet     VARCHAR2(4000);
   vPos     INTEGER := 1;
BEGIN  
    LOOP
        * vDet      := REGEXP_SUBSTR(vInfo,'[#|#]',1,vPos); *
        vIdValue    := REGEXP_SUBSTR(vId,',',1,vPos);
        EXIT WHEN vDet IS NULL;
        vPos := vPos+1;
        -- My Process Here based on splitted values here
        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(vDet);
    END LOOP;
END;
