Hello:

I have a SQL statement and I need to suppress all the info from the rows, such that there is a substring, and it is separated by a "|" character.

Do you know how to do this?

Here's my statement:

select distinct FILE_NAME, MESSAGE_TEXT from message_header H
where substr(msg_date,1,4) ='2021'

Query Works, just need to supress some lines from MESSAGE_TEXT which is delimited by several rows of output per row with a "|" character.

Thank you,
Michele

What I have tried:

select distinct FILE_NAME, MESSAGE_TEXT from message_header H
where substr(msg_date,1,4) ='2021'

Have a look at this: Converting comma separated data in a column to rows for selection[^] It doesn't do exactly what you want, but it should give you some ideas.

If it doesn't, you are going to have to give us a lot more info - including samp
le input and output data, along with a better idea of exactly what you tried and why it didn't work.
