I want to transform the text '[p=1242|John Smith]' to
<a href="./family.php?person=1242">John Smith</a>, but what I get is:
pgslekt=> select REGEXP_REPLACE('[p=1242|John Smith]',
pgslekt(> E'[p=(\d+)|(.+?)]',
pgslekt(> E'<a href="./family.php?person=\\1">\\2</a>');
regexp_replace
------------------------------------------------------
[<a href="./family.php?person="></a>=1242|John Smith]
(1 row)
What am I doing wrong?
PostgreSQL 8.2.7 on i686-pc-linux-gnu BTW.
