Yup, I forgot the "^".
Works now. Thanks ! From: David Johnston
[mailto:polobo@xxxxxxxxx] You are trying to check the
entire string to ensure only the specified character class matches at each
position. What you are doing is seeing whether or not there is at least
one character class matching value in the tested string. Since you want to check the
entire string you should: Anchor it using “^”
and “$” Repeat the test: [a-zA-Z0-9]+ ;
“+” so we do not match the empty-string Thus: ^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$ As for the actual question, how,
I am unsure but if the issue was (and you never did say what output or errors
you are getting) that you were getting “true” for both tests then
this is the reason and the solution. David J. From:
pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On
Behalf Of Gauthier, Dave V8.3.4 on linux How does one do a regexp match/test in PlPgsql given a text
variable containing a regexp and another text variable containt the string to
test. Example that shows what I'm trying to do... declare rgxp text; str1 text; str2 text; begin rgxp := '[a-zA-Z0-9]'; str1 := 'ShouldBeOK99'; str2 := 'Should_Fail_match77'; if(str1 =~ E\rgxp\) then
raise notice '% is a match',str1;
else raise notice '% is not a
match',str1; end if; if(str2 =~ E\rgxp\) then
raise notice '% is a match',str2;
else raise notice '% is not a
match',str2; end if; end; $$ language plpgsql I would expect to see... "ShouldBeOK99 is a match" "Should_Fail_match77 is not a match" Thanks in Advance. |
