Regexp strings with specific characters

I would like to create a query where I select all records which may contain letters, digits and special characters from group of 3 special characters: / " ,

I've tried '[0-9a-zA-Z(\-\/\")]' but something like 'a+' works

Solution

  • Something like this?

    SQL> with test (col) as
  2    (-- valid values
  3     select 'Little12'     from dual union all
  4     select 'Foot/15'      from dual union all
  5     select '"London",UK'  from dual union all
  6     -- invalid values
  7     select '25+ miles'    from dual union all
  8     select 'me@gmail.com' from dual
  9    )
 10  select col
 11  from test
 12  where regexp_like(col, '^[a-zA-Z0-9/",]*$');

COL
------------
Little12
Foot/15
"London",UK
