I am having a weird problem with linq request. I am using LINQPad 4 to create a query that uses a regular expression using LinqToSQL as the LinqPad driver.
Here is the query I'm trying to make:
(from match in
from s in SystemErrors
select Regex.Match(s.Description, "...")
select new
{
FamilyCode = match.Groups["FamilyCode"].Value,
ProductPrefix = match.Groups["ProductPrefix"].Value,
BillingGroup = match.Groups["BillingGroup"].Value,
Debtor = match.Groups["Debtor"].Value
}).Distinct()
As you can see, I am trying to extract data from a text description into a log table using groups. The request works, but Distinct does not want to work, it returns a string for all Match.
I read that individuals should work with an anonymous type corresponding to each property. Even stranger is that individuals actually do something, it arranges the values in alphabetical order using FamilyCode (and then ProductPrefix, etc.).
Does anyone have an idea why this is not working? Thanks
SQL LinqPad:
DECLARE @p0 NVarChar(1000) = 'Big Regexp'
DECLARE @p1 NVarChar(1000) = 'FamilyCode'
DECLARE @p2 NVarChar(1000) = 'ProductPrefix'
DECLARE @p3 NVarChar(1000) = 'BillingGroup'
DECLARE @p4 NVarChar(1000) = 'Debtor'
SELECT DISTINCT [t2].[Description] AS [input], [t2].[value], [t2].[value2], [t2].[value3], [t2].[value4], [t2].[value5]
FROM (
SELECT [t1].[Description], [t1].[value], @p1 AS [value2], @p2 AS [value3], @p3 AS [value4], @p4 AS [value5]
FROM (
SELECT [t0].[Description], @p0 AS [value]
FROM [SystemError] AS [t0]
) AS [t1]
) AS [t2]
