I am trying to replace the words in a sentence if the word exits in "words" column with a hyperlink along with it's word and id. The table contains the column id word and sentence. Below code I got it from one of the helpful fellow mate here.Thank you.

Create table temp(
id NUMBER,
word VARCHAR2(1000),
Sentence VARCHAR2(2000)
);
insert into temp
SELECT 1,'automation testing', 'automtestingation testing is popular kind of testing' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2,'testing','manual testing' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 3,'manual testing','this is an old method of testing' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 5,'B-number analysis','B-number analysis table' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 6,'B-number analysis table','testing B-number analysis' FROM DUAL;
MERGE INTO temp dst
USING (
WITH ordered_words ( rn, id, word ) AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY LENGTH( word ) ASC, word DESC ),
id,
word
FROM temp
),
sentences ( rid, sentence, rn ) AS (
SELECT ROWID,
sentence,
COUNT(*) OVER () + 1
FROM temp
UNION ALL
SELECT s.rid,
REGEXP_REPLACE(
REGEXP_REPLACE(
s.sentence,
'(^|[^a-z])' || w.word || '($|[^a-z])',
'\1' || 'http://localhost/'|| w.id ||'/<u>'||w.word ||'<u>' || '\2',
1,
0,
'i'
),
'(^|[^a-z])' || w.word || '($|[^a-z])',
'\1' || w.word || '\2',
1,
0,
'i'
),
s.rn - 1
FROM sentences s
INNER JOIN ordered_words w
ON ( s.rn - 1 = w.rn )
)
SELECT rid, sentence
FROM sentences
WHERE rn = 1
) src
ON ( dst.ROWID = src.RID )
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE
SET sentence = src.sentence;
The value to be replaced is https://localhost/"id"/"word" If you see the value for id = 5 (B-number analysis) the sentence is https://localhost/6/localhost/5/B-number analysis table But the actual value is supposed to be https://localhost/6/B-number analysis table.
Current output:

Update:
Escape any special regular expression characters in the words:
