Tim, that was actually the first thing i tried, but I omitted it from the post: pgslekt=> select regexp_replace((select source_text from sources where source_id=23091), (select short_link from short_links where link_type = 'sk'), (select long_link from short_links where link_type = 'sk'), 'g'); regexp_replace ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [sk=25658|67|side 66a]. Vabakken under Klyve vestre i Solum 07.07.1784: [p=6947|Isach Jonsen]. (1 row) It doesn't work either. regards, -- Leif Biberg Kristensen http://solumslekt.org/ -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
