Try this: test=# select '+385911234567', operator_phonenumber_pattern, '+385911234567' ~ replace(operator_phonenumber_pattern,'\\\\','\\') from operators; ?column? | operator_phonenumber_pattern | ?column? ---------------+------------------------------+---------- +385911234567 | ^\\+38590\\d{6,7}$ | f +385911234567 | ^\\+38591\\d{7}$ | t +385911234567 | ^\\+3859[9|8]\\d{6,7}$ | f +385911234567 | ^\\+38595\\d{7}$ | f (4 rows) HTH, Andreas -- Andreas Kretschmer (Kontakt: siehe Header) Heynitz: 035242/47212, D1: 0160/7141639 GnuPG-ID 0x3FFF606C http://wwwkeys.de.pgp.net === Schollglas Unternehmensgruppe === ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
