APEX_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE (
    p_string       IN VARCHAR2,
    p_separator    IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ':')

Example

The following example shows how to use the STRING_TO_TABLE function. The function is passed the string 'One:Two:Three' in the p_string parameter and it returns a PL/SQL array of type APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2 containing 3 elements, the element at position 1 contains the value 'One', position 2 contains the value 'Two' and position 3 contains the value 'Three'. This is then output using the HTP.P function call.

DECLARE
    l_vc_arr2    APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
BEGIN
    l_vc_arr2 := APEX_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE('One:Two:Three');
    FOR z IN 1..l_vc_arr2.count LOOP
        htp.p(l_vc_arr2(z));
    END LOOP;
END;
