Re: REGEXP_INSTR range

The docs say " The characters to include are determined by Unicode code
point ordering". Is that significant?

I doubt it would matter, but wouldn't REGEXP_LIKE be more appropriate?

subject: REGEXP_INSTR range

I'm trying to locate rows in a table that have any character in a
particular field with a value less than x'40'.

WHERE REGEXP_INSTR(LOGTEXT,'[\x00-\x3f]') > 0

Keeps finding records with x'60' in the field.

I concocted the regex pattern from what I read on this page:


https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=predicates-regexp-like-predicate#rbafzregexp_like__regexp_likecontrol

but apparently I don't understand it.? What am I doing wrong?
