need help with postgresql regexp_replace

I need to get rid of trailing repeating non_alphanumeric symbols like

"thanks ! !!!!!!!" to "thanks !"

If these different symbols then they are ignored.

I quite new to r开发者_如何学运维egex, so I came up with

regexp_replace('Thanks . . . .  ', '((\\W)\\s*)(\\2\\s*)+', '\\2')

to try it out.

However i realise the trailing space after 'thanks' causes some problem. I would get back "thanks " instead of "thanks ." This is kinda strange because I used an online regex tool and the first whitespace was not matched. Can anyone help?

note: I did insert the double backslash.


Replace

(\W)(\s*\1)+

with

\1

I don't know PostgreSQL, but from your example, I'm guessing:

regexp_replace('Thanks . . . .  ', '(\\W)(\\s*\\1)+', '\\1')

This will also replace leading multiple spaces with a single space. If you don't want that (i. e. if you want leading spaces to be left alone entirely), then use

([^\s\w])(\s*\1)+   // '([^\\s\\w])(\\s*\\1)+'

instead.


try like this:

select regexp_replace('Thanks ! !!!!!!!!', '(\\s*)((\\W)\\s*)(\\2\\s*)+', '\\1\\2');

result:

Thanks !
