Regexp_Like
The complete function definition is:
REGEXP_LIKE(String to search, Pattern, [Parameters]),
where
String to search, Pattern, and Parameters are the same as for REGEXP_INSTR.
As with REGEXP_INSTR, the Parameters argument is usually used only in special situations.

REGEXP_LIKE(x, pattern [, match_option]) searchs x for the regular expression pattern.
You can provide an optional match_option string to indicate the default matching.
- "c", which specifies case sensitive matching (default).
- "i", which specifies case insensitive matching.
- "n", which allows you to use the match-any-character operator.
- "m", which treats x as multiple line.
The following example retrieves employees whose date of birth is between 1995 and 1998 using REGEXP_LIKE():
