I'm working on this now but figured I'd cheat at the same time and see if someone else can help.

I have a text pattern: "M, MO" or "M,MO" or "HELO","M,MO"

I am looking to extract the "M,MO" pattern. First I remove the space after the comma:

v_fld := REPLACE(v_fld,', ',',');

But now I'm having trouble getting the pattern out. Here are some attempts:

SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR('"M, MO"','"*,*"') FROM dual; SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR('"M, MO"','"([[:alnum:]],[[:alnum:]])"') FROM dual;

No luck yet. Received on Wed Jan 28 2009 - 11:03:54 CST
