Hi,
I am trying to test Oracle regular expressions on Oracle 11g 2.0.3.0 and I
am having an issue with the following query to check phone numbers:
select regexp_substr('(666)888-0000','[0-9]{3}|\([0-9]{3}\)') PHONE_1,
regexp_substr('666(888)-0000','[0-9]{3}|\([0-9]{3}\)') PHONE_2
from dual;
The query will return the following:
PHONE_1 PHONE_2
(666) 666
My question is about the return value of PHONE_1. I was expecting the query
to return "666" for PHONE_1 instead of "(666)". After I changed the number
from '(666)888-0000' to ' 666(888)-0000', I am getting the expected result
for PHONE_2.
Please advise on this.
Thanks in advance.
Nick Li
