this regex working on notepad++ but not on oracle

.*(\|)(?!.*\|).*?\-{1}

Answer 1

create table t (

);

insert into t values ('sadsa|dd|g - g|hh|yyyyy - tttt - ooo');
insert into t values ('sadsa|dd|g - g|hh|yyyyy - tttt | - ooo');
insert into t values ('sad -sa|dd|g - g|hh|yy yyy tttt ooo');

select regexp_replace(c,'(.*)\|([^|-]*)-[^|]*','\1|\2-') from t;

gives

sadsa|dd|g - g|hh|yyyyy -
sadsa|dd|g - g|hh|yyyyy - tttt | -
sad -sa|dd|g -|hh|yy yyy tttt ooo
