Dear Experts,
I've a table my_table, and in that table, I've a column my_column.

the data in that column is like this.........

100+
L1VAT+
L2VAT+
123+12+
L1TCS+L1VAT+
12+
L2CST+
300+100+
BTCS+BVAT+
L2TCS+L2VAT+
BVAT+
BCST+
L1CST+
300+

Now I'm trying to extract the data between + symbols. suppose

"L2TCS+L2VAT+ " for this type of data, I need the output L2TCS,L2VAT
I'm not replaceing + with a , (comma) but i need the data between the + symbols.


how can i write afunction for this? I'm trying with substring function. but I was unable to get the logic to reach +.


please help me in this regard.


thank you very much


Vinod
