Oracle的REGEXP_SUBSTR函数简单使用方法
REGEXP_SUBSTR延伸SUBSTR函数的功能。让你搜索一个正則表達式模式字符串。
这也相似于REGEXP_INSTR。而是返回子字符串的位置，它返回的子字符串本身。
语法
Oracle数据库中的REGEXP_SUBSTR函数的语法是：
REGEXP_SUBSTR(source_char, pattern [, position [, occurrence [, match_parameter ]]])參数
source_char
搜索字符串。能够是随意的数据类型char。VARCHAR2。nchar，CLOB，NCLOB类型
pattern

| {n,}? | Matches the preceding pattern at least n times. |
| {n,m}? | Matches the preceding pattern at least n times, but not more than m times. |
position
可选。搜索在字符串中的開始位置。假设省略，默觉得1。这是第一个位置的字符串。
occurrence
可选。它是模式字符串中的第n个匹配位置。假设省略。默觉得1。
match_parameter
可选。它同意你改动regexp_substr功能匹配的行为。它能够是以下的组合：
| Value | Description |
| ‘c’ | 区分大写和小写的匹配. |
| ‘i’ | 不区分大写和小写的匹配. |
| ‘n’ | Allows the period character (.) to match the newline character. By default, the period is a wildcard. |
| ‘m’ | expression is assumed to have multiple lines, where ^ is the start of a line and $ is the end of a line, regardless of the position of those characters in expression. By default, expression is assumed to be a single line. |
| ‘x’ | Whitespace characters are ignored. By default, whitespace characters are matched like any other character. |
Examples
找出匹配的数字
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR ('hello my phone is 520 ', '[0-9]+') FROM dual; --520以下这个样例返回指定第三次出现的字符
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR ('i like beijing tiananmen', '(\S*)(\s)', 1, 3)
FROM dual; --beijing
