I have to replace a string pattern in SQL with empty string, could anyone please suggest me?



Input String 'AC001,AD001,AE001,SA001,AE002,SD001'

Output String 'AE001,AE002



There are the 4 digit codes with first 2 characters "alphabets" and last two are digits. This is always a 4 digit code. And I have to replace all codes except the codes starting with "AE".



I can have 0 or more instances of "AE" codes in the string. The final output should be a formatted string "separated by commas" for multiple "AE" codes as mentioned above.

Here is one option calling regex_replace multiple times, eliminating the "not required" strings little by little in each iteration to arrive at the required output.



SELECT regexp_replace(
regexp_replace(
regexp_replace(
'AC001,AD001,AE001,SA001,AE002,SD001', '(?<!AE)d3,0,1', 'X','g'
),'..X','','g'
),',$','','g'
)


See Demo here

I would convert the list to an array, unnest that to rows then filter out those that should be kept and aggregate it back to a string:



select string_agg(t, ',')
from unnest(string_to_array('AC001,AD001,AE001,SA001,AE002,SD001',',') as x(t)
where x.t like 'AE%'; --<< only keep those


This is independent of the number of elements in the string and can easily be extended to support more complex conditions.




This is a good example why storing comma separated values in a single column is not such a good idea to begin with.
