MariaDB RLIKE condition

28 February,2020 by Rambler

Question: I'm having a problem  using RLIKE and searching for a hyphen '-'  , within a string.Also some other problems related to identifying  strings with both character and numeric , while excluding numeric only or letters only strings. These are some examples of  the strings:

 

Example 1 : Digit followed by letter –  12B, 110A , 78B, 2150A, 287H, 941C

Example 2: Numbers or numbers/letter  with   hyphen separator eg  61-63, 98-99, 1-33,2-14,1A-2A,169-173

Example 3: Numbers with forward slash separator e.g 1B/32,142/8 ,336C/2

Could you give me some RLIKE examples for each of the above scenarios

Answer: The following are simple examples to prove the theory. If you need to include these as part of a wider statement then you may need to think about CASE statement 

Example 1 : Digit followed by letter

select '1a' RLIKE '^[0-9][0-9a-z]';

Example 2 : Numbers or numbers/letter  with   hyphen separator

select '1A-2A' RLIKE '[0-9a-z]-[0-9a-z]' ;

Example 3 : Numbers with forward slash separator

select '1A/2A' RLIKE '^[0-9][0-9a-z]*[\/][0-9a-z]$';
