Hi, I wonder if something like in perl is possible:
data in rows: 1) a12345xb54321x 2) b54321xa12333x I want to extract b(number) and store into another table. In perl this would work with pattern matching (reg.expressions) like: $data =~ s/.*?b(.*?)x.*?/$1/; $data_b = $1; so, reg.expressions in MySQL also works as I know, but how could I get the "$1" to go further and store a substring of the hit into another table?
