Well, the symptom as described seems pretty improbable. You didn't show an exact example, but I'm suspecting the real problem is that you're not allowing for backslashes in a string literal getting eaten by string parsing. Do the cases that don't work for you involve backslashes in the regex? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
