regexp_matches question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am using regexp_matches in a function like this

create or replace function test (v_string       in text) returns varchar as $$
declare
i_strings               text[];
i_string                text[];
       
i_strings := regexp_matches(v_string,E'[a-zA-Z0-9:\\s\\-\\.#%]*:[A-Za-z0-9\\s\\-\\.#%]+','g');
       
-- Then I use  the results
foreach i_string slice 1 in array i_strings
loop
        raise notice 'row = %',i_string;
end loop;
       
when I run the function like this:

select test('1:Warehouse1;2:Warehouse2;');
       
postgresql complains:
ERROR:  query "SELECT regexp_matches(v_string,E'[a-zA-Z0-9:\\s\\-\\.#%]*:[A-Za-z0-9\\s\\-\\.#%]+','g')" returned more than one row

Why postgres is sending the ERROR?
       
Off course I am expecting more than one row!, that's why is in a foreach loop in the first place.
       
If I run:
select regexp_matches('1:Warehouse1;2:Warehouse2;',E'[a-zA-Z0-9:\\s\\-\\.#%]*:[A-Za-z0-9\\s\\-\\.#%]+','g');
regexp_matches
----------------
{1:Warehouse1}
{2:Warehouse2}
(2 rows)

I am doing something wrong?

Regards,
