MySQL Tutorial/Regular Expressions/REGEXP
Содержание
- 1 Characters and classes used by the REGEXP and NOT REGEXP operators (or RLIKE and NOT RLIKE, which are synonyms)
- 2 REGEXP "^[a-f]"
- 3 REGEXP "^[mn].*[sz]$"
- 4 SELECT "1+2" REGEXP "1\\+2";
- 5 To find names beginning with "J", use "^" to match the beginning of the name
- 6 To find names containing an "e", use this query
- 7 To find names containing exactly five characters
- 8 To find names containing exactly five characters using {n}
- 9 To find names ending with "es", use "$" to match the end of the name
- 10 To matches only lowercase "b" at the beginning of a name
Characters and classes used by the REGEXP and NOT REGEXP operators (or RLIKE and NOT RLIKE, which are synonyms)
"." matches any single character.
A character class "[...]" matches any character within the brackets.
For example, "[abc]" matches "a", "b", or "c".
To name a range of characters, use a dash.
"[a-z]" matches any letter, whereas "[0-9]" matches any digit.
"*" matches zero or more instances of the thing preceding it.
For example, "x*" matches any number of "x" characters.
"[0-9]*" matches any number of digits.
".*" matches any number of anything.
A REGEXP pattern match succeeds if the pattern matches anywhere in the value being tested.
A LIKE pattern match succeeds only if the pattern matches the entire value.
"^" matches the beginning of the pattern.
"$" matches the end of the pattern.
