Multi-currency REGEXP_SUBSTR Oracle11g
First time posting a question here, so I hope I don't muck it up too badly.
I created a query that pulls various customer order details including charged price, product list price and the big one, the price that was sent to customers via reminder emails.
Using REGEXP_SUBSTR I am able to match all of the prices from the emails HTML content in various currencies but I run into an issue with the output for certain Price currency abbreviation combinations lacking commas or periods: i.e. 123 kr, 999 Pesos or 1 050 Kč.
How can I make this scenario above match the output of the other price formats?
I pulled much of my "inspiration" from Gary's answer here: Regex currency validation.

REGEX

Matches all
- 1.4">$19.99 (some random text)
- 1.4">R$20.00
- 1.4">20.00€
- 1.4">€25,99
- 1.4">£15.99
- 1.4">123 kr
- 1.4">1234 Ft
- 1.4">999 Pesos
Output
- 19.99
- 20.00
- 20.00
- 25.99
- 15.99
- 123 kr
- 1234 Ft
- 999 Pesos
The last three examples should not have a space and/or any letters following the numbers.
How can I remove them from the output but retain the numbers?
I realize this is likely due to the multiple capture groups I have, so I see three potential solutions:
- Refine the Regex to eliminate the overuse of groups (I am not skilled enough to figure this out)...
- Somehow write Regex non-capturing groups that result in the desired output. I have sadly learned that (?:) simply doesn't work.
- Utilize the SQL function parameters to select subexpressions from REGEXP_SUBSTR. However, this doesn't appear to allow more than one subexpression in the output.
SQL
SELECT
REPLACE(REPLACE(REGEXP_SUBSTR(nnc.MESSAGE, '(NT\$|SAR)\s(\d{2,5})|\d{1,4}([.,]\d{3})*([\s.,]\d{2,3}|[^\W]\d+(\d{1,4})*\s(kr|zł|Pesos|Kč|Ft|บาท|SAR|₪))'),',','.'),' ','') AS EMAIL_PRICE_SENT
FROM tablename
WHERE clause;
That is the full statement with a couple nested REPLACE functions to format the output to the system format.
- See Regex in action here: Regex 101 Link.
I know this is the wrong language so it will not provide a 100% accurate test but I find it very helpful before running it against the DB. I am always open for better tool suggestions!
I have spent too much time than I am proud of on this, so any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Nick
