Class RegexpSubstr


public class RegexpSubstr extends TextArgumentFunction
REGEXP_SUBSTR(subject, pattern [, position [, occurrence [, parameters [, group_num]]]]) — the occurrence-th match (default 1) at or after position (1-based, default 1). With the e flag or an explicit group_num (which implies e), the matching capture group is returned instead of the whole match — group 1 by default; a pattern with no groups falls back to the whole match. Returns NULL when there is no such match.

    • evaluate

      public Object evaluate(List<Object> args)
      Description copied from class: BuiltInFunction
      Computes the function's result over its already-evaluated argument values. A SQL NULL argument arrives as Java null, and returning null makes the SQL result NULL.
      Specified by:
      evaluate in class BuiltInFunction
      Parameters:
      args - the argument values, in call order
      Returns:
      the function's value for these arguments, or null for SQL NULL
    • getMinArgCount

      public int getMinArgCount()
      Description copied from class: BuiltInFunction
      The fewest arguments a call to this function may pass; fewer is an argument-count error.
      Specified by:
      getMinArgCount in class BuiltInFunction
      Returns:
      the minimum accepted argument count
    • getMaxArgCount

      public int getMaxArgCount()
      Description copied from class: BuiltInFunction
      The most arguments a call to this function may pass; Integer.MAX_VALUE marks a variadic function (see BuiltInFunction.isVariadic()).
      Specified by:
      getMaxArgCount in class BuiltInFunction
      Returns:
      the maximum accepted argument count
    • binaryRejection

      public SemiStructuredRejection binaryRejection(int position)
      A BINARY is no text here: the account refuses it by the argument types (live-verified).
      Overrides:
      binaryRejection in class BuiltInFunction
      Parameters:
      position - the zero-based argument position being asked about
      Returns:
      the refusal this position gives a BINARY value; by default none
