Something like this??? DECLARE --x VARCHAR2 (128) := 'abcdefg'; x VARCHAR2 (128) := 'abcdefg123'; BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE (1000000); IF SUBSTR (x, LENGTH (x) - 1, 1) IN ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '0') THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Ends in a number... '); ELSE DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Ends in a letter... '); END IF; END;

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).
