not the group of oracle regular expression












1















I am looking to have a not of regular expression group in oracle regular expression query. Meaning I want to match all patterns that do not match the regular expression group



My String:



"G,1 = G"


Pattern matching used:



([[:alpha:]]+,*[[:digit:]]*)


Current_Output:



"grouped(G,-1) = grouped(G)"


The Problem: Not the Pattern. Match all expression that does not match



([[:alpha:]]+,*[[:digit:]]*)


Required Output for the above expression:



"G,-1 group(=) G"


Other factors: The "=" may be any operator "(+-*=)"



The Code:



SELECT  REGEXP_REPLACE('G,-1 = G',
'([[:alpha:]]+,*[[:digit:]]*)',
'grouped(1)')

as "REGEXP_REPLACE_Concatenation"
FROM dual;


I would appreciate if any would help derive a Not in the regular expression.

You may try this pattern :



REGEXP_REPLACE(s,'([a-zA-Z]+,[0-9]+s+)([^a-zA-Z0-9])(s+[a-zA-Z]+)','1group(2)3')



I have not used Posix regex which you were using for simplicity and used [a-zA-Z] for alphabet and [0-9] for digits.
s*? represents zero or more space.



[^a-zA-Z0-9] tries to match your operator, but it may match other than your valid operators, so you may explicitly specify them as (+|-|*|=) instead if you're sure about all the operators possible.



I have put left hand operand, operator and right hand operator as groups (1),(2) and (3) respectively.



SQL>
SQL> with t(s) AS
2 (
3 SELECT 'G,1=G' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
4 SELECT 'AB,13 + H' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
5 SELECT 'BCD,1 * ID' FROM DUAL
6 )
7 select s,REGEXP_REPLACE(s,'([a-zA-Z]+,[0-9]+s*?)([^a-zA-Z0-9])(s*?[a-zA-Z]+)'
8 ,'1group(2)3')
9 as m
10 FROM t;

S M
-- --
G,1=G G,1group(=)G
AB,13 + H AB,13 group(+) H
BCD,1 * ID BCD,1 group(*) ID


Demo



Also, If you do not wish the pattern to be specific before or after the operator and only wish to group the operator, you may use:



REGEXP_REPLACE(s,'([^+-*=]+)(+|-|*|=)([^+-*=]+)'
,'1group(2)3')
