yes David gave correct solution
but , the value I'm using and it's column in the table sometimes value may be '123-987-123' or '123-987-123-13-87'
if pass like below must return else condiion 0,
select case when select split_part('123-987-123','-',4) >0
then 1 else 0 end
it's return error like integer need...

Given the apparent language dynamic I'd suggest supplying 5-10 example data values along with their expected result.Otherwise, regular expressions almost certainly will let you solve your problem (though, like Joe Conway indicated, split_part may be possible) once you learn how to construct them. regexp_matches(...) is the access point to using them.David J.
