Hi Andreas,
 
strange but I don't see html from my original email received from the mailing list, hope this reply is ok:)
 
If I'm not wrong, the example you've provided is trying to return matching rows from multiple patterns and texts as inputs in the regex search.
 
The text in regular expression have to be just a single string(with no white character) for my case. Matching should then be done with patterns from each row, returning the row(s) that contain matching regex pattern(s). Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
 
Regards
pgdb
