Hi all. Im having a hard time here. Really have no idea what is wrong here.
Facing a special case of text substitution, i have to parse a column like
this one:
SELECT formato from table where id=1;
<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>{Action_1.842}</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>{Action_2.921}[truncated]
The numbers at the rigth of the period identifies an argument to the
function identified to "Action_x"
Every {Action_x....} is asociated to a diff function , so i have a helper
function to identify the "Action" part:
CREATE FUNCTION valores_sustitucion(valor_ingresado varchar[])
returns varchar
as
$$
select case
$1[1] when 'Action_1' then
(select descripcion from load_by_cod($1[2]))
when 'Action_2' then (select descripcion from pay_by_view($1[2])
else 'FALSE'
end;
$$ language sql;
So, the idea is, to call associated function with every "Action_x", with
the number as the argument to that associated function.
So, i come with this:
SELECT regexp_replace(
formato, E'{([^.]*)\.([a-zA-Z0-9]*)},
valores_sustitucion(ARRAY[E'\\1'::varchar,E'\\2'::varchar]),
'g')
from table where id =1;
<TD>FALSE</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>FALSE</TD>
The valores_sustitucion() functions is called, but the case construction
is failing. I have tested the regular expression, and its fine.
It looks like is something with the grouping and using that groups as the
argument of the valores_sustiticion() funcion.
Anybody has a hint?
Thanks!
Gerardo
