Hi, In one of my tables I have a column which contains a combination of a string (characters only), a space and a 1 or 2 letter combination. The string has no fixed lenght. Like:
abcd ef bcdefgh i etc Now I want to remove the 1 or 2 letter combination from this column into another column. I can select the rows with WHERE colX REGEXP ". .{1,2}$" This wil return the first two rows only. But I cannot figure out how to get the query to return the matching result (being ef and i). Any help appreciated Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
