Hey gang,
I have three possible inputs:
18005551212
+18005551212
8005551212
Right now I am using this to strip off the +, 1, or +1:
INSERT INTO ... VALUES(SUBSTRING(usernumber FROM '^\\+?1?(.*)'));
This works perfect but I get all of these in the log:
WARNING: nonstandard use of \\ in a string literal at character 181
If I change to this as per the doc example right above the 9.7.3
header
on this page:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/functions-matching.html
SUBSTRING(usernumber FROM '^#+?1?(.*)' FOR '#')
I get NULL inserted but no WARNING's.
A point if the right direction would be appreciated.
Try
INSERT INTO ... VALUES(SUBSTRING(usernumber FROM E'^\\+?1?(.*)'));
