Hello,

I'd like to cut off a specific part from string. I'm looking for solution made in query builder with enterprise guide. I want to delete all parts containing 'PL003' or 'PL005'.

Example string:

PL0031234

PL00512345

PL003PL005123456

 

My target to achieve:

1234

12345

123456

Can you help me?

In the Query builder, create new calculated column, as 'Advanced Expression', and in the expression use the following

/* new */
(PRXCHANGE('s/PL00\d//',-1,t1.x)) AS new

This will give you the desired output.

 

Hope this helps,

Ahmed
