Hi You can do something like this
no number(10) ; begin no := to_number(substr(character_with_pattern, length(character_with_pattern),1); -- if the control comes here it is a number -- flag it -- exception when value_error then do not flag it; -- end; -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 3:39 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Is there any way to do pattern matching in a PL/SQL trigger? In other words, if I had two strings and one ended with a character (ie. "g") and one ended with a number, is there a way to search for it so that it would flag if it is only a number? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Mike Sardin INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
