JS,

Doesn't that owa_pattern package come from the PL/SQL Web Toolkit, which requires that you have the Oracle App Server licensed??

Yes, use regular expressions via the owa_pattern package.

Here's an example:

declare

tstr varchar2(100) := 'this c34ontains s0239everal 2340 numeric 882 dig2its';
begin

dbms_output.put_line( tstr);

remove the digits owa_pattern.change( tstr, '\d', '', 'g'); dbms_output.put_line( tstr);
remove the extra spaces owa_pattern.change( tstr, '\s+', ' ', 'g'); dbms_output.put_line( tstr); end; /

Is there any way to remove all numbers from a string?

The string might look like this: 'abc123def432' and I wan't it to look like this: 'abcdef'.

I'm using Oracle 8.

Thanks in advance!
