Parse ";" delimited string into array or rows

PeterValencicJun 23 2016 — edited Jun 23 2016

Hi,

I need help with parsing this kind of rows into array or into rows (pipelined)..

here are two examples of datas:

ASDIRECT;I0050499;6361229001;460000000690;1680,8;28.04.2016;2214;DC;ECC;12;1;360056****1005;007783;

ASDIRECT;;;460000000736.280416114515;1225,12;28.04.2016;1147;VC;PBZ;00;1;457418******3009;030084;

What I need is to get empty or null value for ;;

thank you

DECLARE
  I INTEGER;
  TYPE T_ARRAY_OF_VARCHAR IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(2000) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
  MY_ARRAY T_ARRAY_OF_VARCHAR;
  MY_STRING VARCHAR2(2000) := 'ASDIRECT;;;460000000736.280416114515;1225,12;28.04.2016;1147;VC;PBZ;00;1;457418******3009;030084;';
BEGIN

  FOR CURRENT_ROW IN (
    with test as   
      (select MY_STRING from dual)
      select regexp_substr(MY_STRING, '[^;]+', 1, rownum) SPLIT
      from test
      connect by level <= length (regexp_replace(MY_STRING, '[^;]+'))  +1)
  LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(CURRENT_ROW.SPLIT);
    MY_ARRAY(MY_ARRAY.COUNT) := CURRENT_ROW.SPLIT;
  END LOOP;
END;

output is:

ASDIRECT

460000000736.280416114515

1225,12

28.04.2016

1147

PBZ

457418******3009

030084

what I need:

ASDIRECT

null or ''

460000000736.280416114515

1225,12

28.04.2016

1147

PBZ

457418******3009
