Have checked these scalar functions out. However a compare is not

Can you give an example of the expression & data and results you would like?

I found the REGEXP_INSTR function will tell me if a character field matches the expression

Here's a really basic example I've used in the past ...

values(regexp_instr(
'david@xxxxxxxxxxxx',
'[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}',
1,
1,
0,
'i'));

The returned value is 1.
