Hi guys,

i've got this column:

path_name character varying(255)

I store full S3 bucket path for the attachments of my application on it; example:

/{s3bucket}/filesuser/client/27801123/attachment/4510/main

/{s3bucket}/filesuser/client/27801123/attachment/4510/file

I wanna do a select, where path_name has only 'main' and not anything else.

WHERE path_nane LIKE '%/main'

I was able to do it like this:

WHERE (path_name)::text ~ '^\/filesuser\/client/\d+/(attachment)/\d+/(main)+'

Thanks

Patrick.

select REGEXP_REPLACE(path_name, '.*/', '') as col2 from seg_table limit 10;

main
file

WHERE REGEXP_REPLACE(path_name, '.*/', '')::text = 'main'

When actually I just want the 'main''

​SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE path_name ~ '/main$' ?

David,

That won't work.

​Actually, it works fine, you just keep moving the under-specified problem space.

I'd suggest creating a self-contained running example that gets you close and show what the final output should be.
