I need to find a substr from a string, the set of substr is revisionNumber, in the string there also is a subtring revision, but I always find the 'revision' instead of 'revisionNumber'. Please help me to fix this. below is my query:
select substr(message, instr(message, 'revisionNumber=', 20, 2)+16, 2) revisionNumber
from ...
the tring ls:
<?xml version="1.0"?><messageEnvelope time="2002/01/23 15:04" messageId="2002012315041925"> <sender>ite</sender> <receiver>iashub.com</receiver> <messageBody> <batch abortOnFailure="false"> <updateEstimate time="2001/09/20 15:04"> <estimate number="USLAXITEX02658" date="2001/09/20 15:04" revisionNumber="2" condition.....
Thanks

substr(message, instr(message, 'revisionNumber=', 20, 2)+16, 2)
Now first we will see how will it work
instr(message, 'revisionNumber=', 20, 2)
here from position of 20 it will start for second occurance of revisionNumber= in message .and it will return a number of second occurance .
if it is 25 .
substr(message, instr(message, 'revisionNumber=', 20, 2)+16, 2)
then it will add 16 in 25 = 41 and returns you the next 2 character .
