Hi,
Thx orafaq for my prev reply.
I have now a major problem:
I get an input string of client full name as
"bhagwan singh mer"
i want to search for exact string in the above name say "bhagwan" or "singh" or "mer"
using INSTR Iam able to solve the problem BUT when i try to modify my input as
"bhagwanx singhx merx"
and still look for "bhagwan" or "singh" or "mer"
i should not get a match.
IN A WAY Iam looking for a procedure which does exact search in another string
sort of advance form of INSTR.
Can someone sent me his/her proc which i can use.it is very urgent.
bhagwan
