This is the point! Your first solution, Michael, is the one for me to use (thnx for that, btw!):
| I need to find patterns in a varchar field like '%R[0-9]%' where name like any ('%R0%','%R1%','%R2%','%R3%','%R4%','%R5%',
'%R6%','%R7%','%R8%','%R9%') | |
If you need to find the above followed by another 0-9 digit (two of them):
where name like any ('%R0%','%R1%','%R2%','%R3%','%R4%','%R5%',
'%R6%','%R7%','%R8%','%R9%')
and
name like any ('%R_0%','%R_1%','%R_2%','%R_3%','%R_4%','%R_5%',
'%R_6%','%R_7%','%R_8%','%R_9%')
However, for other problems Royson's idea could be promising. Is there a way to find the position of the nth character in a string?
