Re: REGEXP_INSTR range

Thanks for pointing that out John!  I guess I can't count :(

So they're both wrong!  Why is REGEXP_INSTR finding a hyphen in the range x'00' - x'3F' when a hyphen (in EBCDIC) is x'60'?

which is what I expected.

values regexp_instr('- - - - - - - - - - -', '[\x00-\x3F]') returns 1,
which is NOT what I expected.
Why did you expect to find the hyphen in the first example but not in
the second?
