How to get only Digits from String in mysql?
I have some string output which contain alphanumeric value. I want to get only Digits from that string. how can I fetch this by query? which MySql function can I Use?
My query is like :
select DISTINCT SUBSTRING(referrerURL,71,6)
from hotshotsdblog1.annonymoustracking
where advertiserid = 10
limit 10;
Output :
100683
101313
19924&
9072&h
12368&
5888&h
10308&
100664
1&hash
101104
And I Want output like :
100683
101313
19924
9072
12368
5888
10308
100664
1
101104
If the string starts with a number, then contains non-numeric characters, you can use the CAST()
function or convert it to a numeric implicitly by adding a 0
:
SELECT CAST('1234abc' AS UNSIGNED); -- 1234
SELECT '1234abc'+0; -- 1234
To extract numbers out of an arbitrary string you could add a custom function like this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION `ExtractNumber`(in_string VARCHAR(50))
RETURNS INT
NO SQL
BEGIN
DECLARE ctrNumber VARCHAR(50);
DECLARE finNumber VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT '';
DECLARE sChar VARCHAR(1);
DECLARE inti INTEGER DEFAULT 1;
IF LENGTH(in_string) > 0 THEN
WHILE(inti <= LENGTH(in_string)) DO
SET sChar = SUBSTRING(in_string, inti, 1);
SET ctrNumber = FIND_IN_SET(sChar, '0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9');
IF ctrNumber > 0 THEN
SET finNumber = CONCAT(finNumber, sChar);
END IF;
SET inti = inti + 1;
END WHILE;
RETURN CAST(finNumber AS UNSIGNED);
ELSE
RETURN 0;
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Once the function is defined, you can use it in your query:
SELECT ExtractNumber("abc1234def") AS number; -- 1234
To whoever is still looking, use regex:
select REGEXP_SUBSTR(name,"[0-9]+") as amount from `subscriptions`
