WHERE clause with multiple LIKE entries [message #374295]

Hi,
Have VB6 app working on Oracle 8.
Two questions:

1. How do you specify numerical values in a "like" statement when searching on wildcards. For example, if I have data values:

ABCWWWWW
ABC11111
ABC22222
ABC33333

I would like to select all values that are ABC followed by numbers, not letters. Such as "...WHERE type like 'ABC%'", but need % to reference any number but not any letter.

2. I need to write a WHERE clause in my SELECT statement that searches for multiple "LIKE" values. For example, all values that start with "ABC1%" and "ABC2%", but not "ABC3%".

"...WHERE type like 'ABC1%' OR 'ABC2%'".
"...WHERE type in (like 'ABC1%', 'ABC2%')

I know this syntax doesn't work, but shows what I need to do.

Thanks in advance.
