10g comes with full regular _expression_ support. So if upgrading to 10 is an option in the near future, don't put too much effort in building your own solution.

Hi All,
I need a means to search for a pattern (With basic wildcard characters like %, _, ^, []). How do I do this in oracle. I also need to get back the string that matches the pattern. Is there any predefined function or procedure that does this. Would like to avoid implementing this on my own.
TIA,
ShivaM
