I have data like this:
string 1: 003Preliminary Examination Plan
string 2: Coordination005
string 3: Balance1000sheet
The output I exp
Taking other answers into account, i came up with my own: Try this :
SUBSTRING('your-string-here', PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', 'your-string-here'), LEN('your-string-here'))
NB: Only works for the first int in the string, ex: abc123vfg34 returns 123.
In Oracle
You can get what you want using this:
SUBSTR('ABCD1234EFGH',REGEXP_INSTR ('ABCD1234EFGH', '[[:digit:]]'),REGEXP_COUNT ('ABCD1234EFGH', '[[:digit:]]'))
Sample Query:
SELECT SUBSTR('003Preliminary Examination Plan ',REGEXP_INSTR ('003Preliminary Examination Plan ', '[[:digit:]]'),REGEXP_COUNT ('003Preliminary Examination Plan ', '[[:digit:]]')) SAMPLE1,
SUBSTR('Coordination005',REGEXP_INSTR ('Coordination005', '[[:digit:]]'),REGEXP_COUNT ('Coordination005', '[[:digit:]]')) SAMPLE2,
SUBSTR('Balance1000sheet',REGEXP_INSTR ('Balance1000sheet', '[[:digit:]]'),REGEXP_COUNT ('Balance1000sheet', '[[:digit:]]')) SAMPLE3 FROM DUAL
