I've the following string:



SELECT '00000-AAA1-1111-BBBB1-010101-CCCC1' as Word
FROM Table_A


I have the above string I only want to extract the string between the third-to-last and the last occurence.



Basically, I want to extract the following string:



'BBBB1'


I was trying with that but it gives me the wrong result:



 substr(Word, 1, length(a.cod_system_shipment_detail) - length(reverse(split_part(reverse(Word),'|',1))))

"00000-AAA1-1111-BBBB1-010101-"


How can extract only BBBB1 from the above string?



Thanks!

  • From "'00000-AAA1-1111-BBBB1-010101-CCCC1'" I want to extract BBBB1. Before 'BBBB1' we have 3 special characters and 2 after.

If you want to split by - and get the third element, you can do it as follow



SELECT split_part('00000-AAA1-1111-BBBB1-010101-CCCC1', '-',4);
