SQL Essentials: REGEXP_INSTR Function Explained

edited Aug 14, 2025 4:03PM in Saved Searches

Overview

REGEXP_INSTR is a text-searching function in Saved Search Formulas that uses regular expressions to find the position of a substring within a text field. It returns the starting position of the first occurrence of the specified pattern in the text. This function is particularly useful when you need to locate specific patterns or substrings within larger text fields, enabling advanced text manipulation and analysis.

In simpler terms, REGEXP_INSTR helps you find where a specific pattern starts in a piece of text. It's like using a search function in a word processor, but with much more precision and flexibility, as it allows you to search for complex patterns, not just simple text.

Howdy, Stranger!
