Hello,

In a table column I have data like Below. I need to replace a specific pattern with a value. lets say,

"Audit:(.....)" need to be replaced with "Audit:null" . The value inside the () will differ for each row.

{Customer:123,code:ABC,Audit:(user:deepak,WS:10,TS:2022-12-23),Dept:20}
need to change to
{Customer:123,code:ABC,Audit:null,Dept:20}

{Customer:235,code:XYZ,Audit:(user:Vikash,WS:12,IP:159,TS:2021-11-21),Dept:30}
need to change to
{Customer:235,code:XYZ,Audit:null,Dept:30}

we might have this pattern occurrence 2 times like below.

{Customer:235,code:XYZ,Audit:(user:Vikash,WS:12,TS:2021-11-21),Dept:30,Audit:(user:Vikash,WS:12,TS:2021-11-21)}
need to change to
{Customer:235,code:XYZ,Audit:null,Dept:30,Audit:null}


Please help me with a SQL.

Thanks
Deepak

Thanks Michel. This Works. I was not aware of this regexp_replace function.

With the real data, I am messing somewhere with the { [ \ etc and not getting a proper result. Kindly help me with the pattern.


\"~audit\":[{\"Ts1\":\"Apr 22, 2021 4:20:29 PM\"},{\"Offset\":\"-04:00\"},{\"Process\":\"Test1\"},{\"TS2\":\"Apr 22, 2021 4:20:30 PM\"},{\"TS3\":\"Apr 22, 2021 4:20:29 PM\"},{\"user\":\"deepak\"},{\"id\":\"a5317880\"},{\"WS\":\"UI\"}]
Need to change to
\"~audit\":null

So this is no more "Audit:(.....)".
What is the COMPLETE, ACCURATE and CORRECT definition of the possible data?
Otherwise I can provide you many solutions and you will say it doesn't work with ... each time.

The column data format would be like below , The data include \ and " . Hope this is clear .



Actual Data:
'Customer:[Deepak],\"~audit\":[{\"Ts1\":\"Apr 22, 2021 4:20:29 PM\"},{\"Offset\":\"-04:00\"},{\"Process\":\"Test1\"},{\"TS2\":\"Apr 22, 2021 4:20:30 PM\"},{\"TS3\":\"Apr 22, 2021 4:20:29 PM\"},{\"user\":\"deepak\"},{\"id\":\"a5317880\"},{\"WS\":\"UI\"}],Customer2:[Deepak2]')

need to change to
'Customer:[Deepak],\"~audit\":null,Customer2:[Deepak2]');

So \"~audit\":[.......] Need to change to \"~audit\":null

Is this the only case? What about the parentheses in the first post? is ~ always there? Does the data ALWAYS include \ and "?...

The first post was just a sample , not the real data. Yes. this is the only case and the data always include \ and " and ~ as I have given.
