Hi Bart,

since I know you're using my COM-Wrapper, a larger set
of Functions (in VBA-Style, similar to the JET-Engine) are
already built-in there (including Instr, Left$, Right$, Mid$,
DateDiff, DatePart, ... etc.).

For example Sébastiens requirement could be handled this way:

Select Mid$(TheField, Instr(TheField,'[') From Tbl

Olaf

BTW, a new version including newest SQLite 3.7.14 is out now
since yesterday: www.datenhaus.de/Downloads/vbRC4BaseDlls.zip

Hi Olaf,

Yes, I am aware of those functions in your COM wrapper and I am
using them. Was just thinking in general terms as not many users
on this forum use VB.
Great news about the new version and will download and test that today.
Thanks for that.

Bart

Hi Olaf,

I think it should be:
Select Left$(TheField, Instr(TheField,']')) From Tbl

Have tested you new dll's and all working fine as usual.

[sqlite] instr function or equivalent

2012-09-10 Thread Sébastien Roux
Hi,

I'm looking for the[in]famous sqlite *instr* function which doesn't exist
(searched the web so far without success). Also searched for a
*position*function, without success too!

Any idea or help? I found some threads about custom functions but no
tutorial nor deeper explanations!

Many thanks.

Yes, you are right there.
As rtrim incorporates an instr type of function I am not sure why there
is no plain instr function in SQLite. It would make things a bit simpler.

Two ways to add appropriate functions to SQLite to do it.  Either supply a 
'find substring' function which returns the character number of where the

Neither of them are trivial given that strings /may/ be 16-bit.

Similar but it only every has to (recursively) look at the rightmost character. 
 'instr' has to be able to look at substrings all the way along the string.  
I'm not saying it's impossible, merely that it isn't a trivial three line C 
function.

So does replace(), which SQLite does implement.

Re: [sqlite] instr function or equivalent

2012-09-10 Thread kball...@kennethballard.com
Here's one that I wrote a while back:

void sqlite3_instr(sqlite3_context* pContext, int argc, sqlite3_value** argv)
{
const char *str1 = (const char *) sqlite3_value_text(argv[0]);
const char *str2 = (const char *) sqlite3_value_text(argv[1]);

char *p = strstr(str1, str2);
int nResult = 0;
if(p != NULL)
{
nResult = p - str1 + 1;
}

sqlite3_result_int(pContext, nResult);
}


You'll need to register it as an extension function on the database connection,
but it should do the job.

This returns an offset in bytes, not in characters. I would expect a 
reasonable instr() implementation to satisfy this identity:


substr(X, instr(X, Y), length(Y)) == Y

for all strings X and Y, or at least for those where Y does in fact 
appear in X. I don't think yours would satisfy this condition for 
strings containing non-ASCII characters.


One would probably want to study the implementation of substr and length 
before implementing instr, to make sure the three play well together.
