Question On Using Patindex
Jul 23, 2005
Hello,
I am trying to update a column in a table with an 8 digit string.
The 8 digit number is obtained from another column which is a comments
field.
e.g.
Comments Field :
1) RD-V0216970 RQST NON SMKING KING Unknown # : 22338921
2) Received verbal authorization Authorization # 040345
3) international plaza, singapore # 96722540
The code that I am using is
UPDATE U SET U.NUM =
CASE
WHEN U.BOOKED_COMMENTS_TXT LIKE
('%[0123456789][0123456789][0123456789][0123456789][0123456789][0123456789]%')
THEN
SUBSTRING(U.BOOKED_COMMENTS_TXT,
PATINDEX('%[0123456789][0123456789][0123456789][0123456789][0123456789][0123456789]%',
U.BOOKED_COMMENTS_TXT), 8)
ELSE NULL
END
FROM UNKNOWN1_RESERVATIONS U
Here's what my result set looks like
1)V0216970
2)040345
3)96722540
But this is how I want my result set to look like
1)22338921
2)null
3)96722540
What I need is a way to restrict the search criteria to exactly 8
numeric digits. Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks in advance

Good morning.
I was wondering if someone would point out my flaw. I am attempting to get information separated by spaces, placed into separate columns. I tried without success several times yesterday to get what I desired and was not able to get it done. I am fairly new at developing SQL code and am low on the SQL coding totem pole of experience but would like your help.
Here is what I have so far.
SELECT
CONVERT(char(16), SUBSTRING(c1,
1,
PATINDEX('% %', c1))) SSI_House_Number,
CONVERT(char(15), SUBSTRING(c1,
PATINDEX('% %', c1)+1,
LEN(c1)-PATINDEX('% %', c1)+1)) SSI_Directional
FROM
t1
WHERE
c2 = 4254
My problem arises when I, in the second column, attempt to get only the information BETWEEN the first space: PATINDEX('% %', c1)+1 and the second space. I am coming up short and would like someone to point out my error or assist me in getting the query pointed in the right direction.
Thanks,
Daimon

hi!
i have one datatable with some file's details like id, name, createdate. i wrote one storedprocedure to search in that table by filename using wildcard character. its also working perfectly. But the problem is i want to arrange the results in ascending order depended by matching level. If I search for 'file123' it should give results in one order by matching level, means - lets think the results are 'fil23', file123', 'file', 'file1'. the results should be in order like 'file123', 'fil23', 'file1', 'file'. the results of the sp which i used, are order by datecreated. Please help me to do this.
the storeprocedure i used -
"CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SP_DYN_SearchinFiles_DynByWildcardsADMIN] @searchparam nvarchar(50)
AS
BEGIN
select
Id,
OriginalName,
ContentType,
FullName,
Department,
DateCreated,
Client,
username
from Files_Dyn where PATINDEX('%' + @SearchParam + '%', OriginalName) > 0
END"

Hi all,
My database is not case-sensitive, but I want output like...
SELECT patindex('%[A-Z]%','gaurang Ahmedabad')
The output should be first occurrence of uppercase A to Z, so output should be 9 it should not be 1.
Above query is giving output as 1 bcoz the 1st character in the expression is 'g' and it is in A to Z, but this is not capital 'G'. The 1st capital letter in the expression is 'A' (9th character in the expression).
Is there anyway to achieve this using PATINDEX? or Is there any other way to achieve this?
Thanks,

Alright, I am trying to write a query that will select a column.. then search through the column and return me the fields with no underscores in them.
i.e we have fields that are like ABCD and ABCD_1. I want to basically return all of them up to the underscore.
so i am trying to use a substring combined with patindex. Here is my statement for patindex. patindex('%_%', short_name)
however, i cannot get patindex to ignore the fact that _ is a wildcard and treat it as character. Ive tried ('%[_]%', short_name) and ive tried ('%!_%', short_name) escape '!' and i just keep getting errors... If someone could help me out, that would be most appreciated. thank you.

I have a number of columns I'm selecting from a table, and I'd like to use PATINDEX to search for a string within a field. Upon finding this string it would return another string...:
SELECT
CASE PARTNERID
WHEN PATINDEX('%INX%',PARTNERID)>0 THEN 'AXXENT'
ELSE PARTNERID
END AS PARTNERID
However, I'm getting this error:Incorrect syntax near '>'.

Hi
I have a table which stores a big chunk of html text, which I have to search for and replace some strings.
How can I write a query that makes use of regular expressions to do the following:
Below is a block of example text
======================================================================
" src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blind%2010x10.gif?OpenImageResource" width=10> <img height=10 alt="" src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blind%2010x10.gif?OpenImageResource" width=10><img height=11 alt=""
http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blablablabla?OpenDocument src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.ns http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/d8d4f0dfa09ba71142256cc50040ee51/ee9b4493dac727be422571c30027df61? OpenDocument" target=_self>
======================================================================
Now I want to search and replace the string that is highlighted in red with something like "FOUND"
The below string is what I want to search for - I will used PATINDEX on the string below to find the start index of the string in the body, and then I will add on 114 to the when doing a replace:
'%http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/%some guid%/%some guid%?OpenDocument%'
For example
REPLACE
(
TheField,
SUBSTRING
(
TheField,
PATINDEX(''%http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/%some guid%/%some guid%?OpenDocument%', TheField),
,114
)
,
'FOUND'
)
QUESTION:
what would the regular expression be and how does one type it in the query?
I tried something like the below but it does not work, please advise .....
[a-z][0-9]{32} %/% [a-z][0-9]{32}

Hello,
I forget. How can PATINDEX be used to find column values where the data is all numeric? I've tried, the following:
select distinct acct from tbl_CYProcessedSales
where PatIndex('%[0-9]%',Acct) > 0
order by acct
Acct is varchar(8). What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help!

I am creating a view to pull data for a UPS integration I am doing. I currently have this view where I pull my data from. All is well accept for my PATINDEX,
Currently I have this PATINDEX So when a user puts this into delivery instructions "#999999" UPS_FINAL returns 999999 which is good for me to use. But The PATINDEX will also grab all kinds of neat stuff out of the delivery instructions field when I really only want whatever is after the # sign in the field.
I am new to sql and dont quite understand how this search is working but I think I am in need of a better way to search the field
Code:
WHEN SUBSTRING(P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions, PATINDEX('%[^a-z ]%', P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions) + 1, 6) IS NULL
THEN dbo.Address_Table.ups_code
ELSE SUBSTRING(P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions,
PATINDEX('%[^a-z ]%', P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions) + 1, 6) END AS UPS_FINAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I am looking to accomplish is a SUBSTRING that will search delivery_instructions
Code:
SELECT
TOP (100) PERCENT P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_pick_ticket.pick_ticket_no,
P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.order_no, P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.customer_id,

Hi All,
Can we use the SUBSTRING or PATINDEX function with a User Defined Function as one of the parameters? Something like this:
Code Block
Select SUBSTRING(Select * from DB.dbo.Function('Parameter'), PATINDEX('%\%', Select * from DB.dbo.Function('Parameter'), 8)
Mannu.

Hello,
I understand that it is not possible to use PATINDEX in a Derived Column transform. I'm trying to eliminate leading zeros from a column where the string is always 14 characters long, but the first non zero character could occur any number of characters from the left of the string. The following achieves what I need:
substring([Account No w/0s], patindex('%[^0]%', [Account No w/0s]), 14) AS ExtractedAcctNo
Does anyone happen to know how I might express this differently in a Derived Column transform? Should I consider a calling a function through an OLE DB Command transform on each row instead? Maybe I should have a SQL Task that runs an UPDATE statement against the column.
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
My database is not case-sensitive, but I want output like...
SELECT patindex('%[A-Z]%','gaurang Ahmedabad')
The output should be first occurrence of uppercase A to Z, so output should be 9 it should not be 1.
Above query is giving output as 1 bcoz the 1st character in the expression is 'g' and it is in A to Z, but this is not capital 'G'. The 1st capital letter in the expression is 'A' (9th character in the expression).
Is there anyway to achieve this using PATINDEX? or Is there any other way to achieve this?
Thanks,

I would like solving the following issue using the Patindex function i cannot retrieve or extract the single numeric value as an example in the the values below i would like retrieve the Value 2, but in my result set the value 22 also appears or it is completely omitted.
"2 8 7"
"2 8"
"2"
"22"
"3 2 8"
I have tried the following
Patindex('%[2]% [^0-9] [^1] [^3] [^4] [^5] [^6] [^7] [^8] [^9]' ,Replace(Replace(Marketing_Special_Attributes, '"',''),'^',' ')) as Col3,
Patindex('[2]' ,Replace(Replace(Marketing_Special_Attributes, '"',''),'^',' ')) as Col4,
Patindex('%[2][^0-9]%',Replace(Marketing_Special_Attributes,'^',' ')),
