Returns the number of times str matches the regexp pattern.

Syntax

regexp_count( str, regexp )

Arguments

  • str: A STRING expression to be matched.
  • regexp: A STRING expression with a pattern.

Returns

An INTEGER.

The regexp string must be a Java regular expression. String literals are unescaped. For example, to match '\abc', a regular expression for regexp can be '^\\abc$'.

In case of a malformed regexp the function returns an INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE error.

If either argument is NULL, the result is NULL.

> SELECT regexp_count('Steven Jones and Stephen Smith are the best players', 'Ste(v|ph)en');

> SELECT regexp_count('Mary had a little lamb', 'Ste(v|ph)en');
 0

> SELECT regexp_count(NULL, 'Ste(v|ph)en');
 NULL

> SELECT regexp_instr('Mary had a little lamb', NULL);
