Hi friends. I need your help to improve my code that is presents below. The aim of this code is replace a some tags in a string by a specifics values. Example: I want replace a the substring(i called tag too) "<date>" by "" and the substring <id> by a random value.
There is another way more efficent and elegant, for example with regular expressions ?? Or do you have any idea to improve this code? I do not like much the loop cycle, and the way to initializate the array "l_tag_array" !! DECLARE TYPE lt_tags IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(1024) INDEX BY VARCHAR2(128); l_tag_array lt_tags; l_idx VARCHAR2(128); l_filename VARCHAR2(1024); l_array_value VARCHAR2(1024); BEGIN l_filename:='<date>.<id>.dat'; l_tag_array('<date>'):='TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,''ddyyyyhh24miss'')'; l_tag_array('<id>'):='ROUND(dbms_random.value(1,1000),0)'; l_idx := l_tag_array.FIRST; WHILE(l_idx IS NOT NULL) LOOP EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT ' || l_tag_array(l_idx) ||' FROM DUAL ' INTO l_array_value ; l_filename := REPLACE(l_filename,l_idx,l_array_value); l_idx := l_tag_array.NEXT(l_idx); END LOOP; dbms_output.put_line(l_filename); END; Thanks a lot, Santana -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Oracle PL/SQL" group.
