  Hi,

  This is regarding pattern matching in Tsql Query

  I have table with the following columns and corresspoding sample values

  ID Seq

  1 01111

  2 10111

  3 11011

  4 11101

  5 11110

  6 11111

  I need to query for the seq value which are all 1's .In this example, the query should return the value 11111.

  kindly suggest if i can queries this with pattern matching.

  Regards,

  Naveen

  (ID INT,

  Seq VARCHAR(MAX))

  INSERT INTO Sequence VALUES(1,'01111')

  INSERT INTO Sequence VALUES(1,'10111')

  INSERT INTO Sequence VALUES(1,'11011')

  INSERT INTO Sequence VALUES(1,'11101')

  INSERT INTO Sequence VALUES(1,'11110')

  Try

  SELECT

  ID, Seq

  FROM

  Sequence

  WHERE

  Seq = REPLICATE('1', LEN(Seq))

  Hi Mark, do you know if there is something similar to 'Regular expression' (in dot net) in SQL Server for pattern matching? I guess this kind of validation has to be handled in the front end but was just curious to know if there is a way to do in SQL Server. Lets say it has to look for something in this format "123-4567-89.123"

  Pakki,

  You can do something like this:

  DECLARE @TestSeq VARCHAR(20)

  SET @TestSeq = '123-4567-89.123'

  SELECT CASE WHEN @TestSeq LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9][0-9]'

  THEN 'Passed'

  ELSE 'Failed'

  END

  LIKE and PATINDEX use regular expressions.

  For example, for "123-4567-89.123", you could use

  LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9][0-9]'
