Below is what I have in table myTable
+++++++++++++++
+ id + myWord +
+++++++++++++++
+ 1 + AB123 +
+ 2 + A413D +
+ 3 + X5231 +
+ 4 + ABE921 +
+++++++++++++++
When I execute
SELECT id, Locate('1',myWord) as myPos
FROM myTable;
I get position of 1.
+++++++++++++++
+ id + myPos +
+++++++++++++++
+ 1 + 3 +
+ 2 + 3 +
+ 3 + 5 +
+ 4 + 6 +
+++++++++++++++
What I want to achieve is finding first position of integer so that I will have below output.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+ id + myWord + myPos +
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 1 + AB123 + 3 +
+ 2 + A413D + 2 +
+ 3 + X5231 + 2 +
+ 4 + ABE921 + 4 +
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Any Idea how I can achieve this?
The indexOf() method returns the position of the first occurrence of specified character(s) in a string. Tip: Use the lastIndexOf method to return the position of the last occurrence of specified character(s) in a string.
Method #1 : Using re. findall() + index() This is one of the way in which we can find the location where word exists. In this we look for substring pattern using findall() and its position using index().
Method 1: Get the position of a character in Python using rfind() Python String rfind() method returns the highest index of the substring if found in the given string. If not found then it returns -1.
The indexOf() method returns the position of the first occurrence of a value in a string. The indexOf() method returns -1 if the value is not found.
With help of xdazz answer, I did some changes and got answer finally...
SELECT

LEAST (
if (Locate('0',myWord) >0,Locate('0',myWord),999),
if (Locate('1',myWord) >0,Locate('1',myWord),999),
