regexp_instr function summary

 
regexp_instr (string, pattern)
regexp_instr (string, pattern, position)
regexp_instr (string, pattern, position, occurence)
regexp_instr (string, pattern, position, occurence, return-option)
regexp_instr (string, pattern, position, occurence, return-option, parameters)
parameters can be a combination of
    * i: to match case insensitively
    * c: to match case sensitively
    * n: to make the dot (.) match new lines as well
    * m: to make ^ and $ match beginning and end of a line in a multiline string
    * x: to ignore white spaces. 
regexp_instr is an Oracle SQL function that enables regular expressions in queries. 
It enhances the "traditional" instr.
