Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

String Comparison

Dec 16, 2013 8:59AM edited Dec 16, 2013 9:58AM in PL/SQL (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered ✓

Hi,

Let's say we have two strings, as follows:

STRING_A VARCHAR2(100) := '60';

STRING_B VARCHAR2(100) := '006,6,060,600,60,666,0060';

I would like to compare STRING_A to STRING_B to find only the value '60'.

Can you recommend a way to do this?

Thank you for your help.

p.s. We use Oracle 11G.
