Replace substring with wildcard in MySQL

Question

I'm trying to write an SQL update to replace a specific CSS property with a blank so I can remove it.

Let's see:

UPDATE table
SET css_string = REPLACE(css_string, "top:calc(50%%ANY_VALUE%%) !important;", " ");

So that I can remove the top:calc(50% - 20px) !important; property from the CSS string.

Answer 1

I'll take a stab at it, been a while since I have worked with SQL:

UPDATE table
SET css_string = REPLACE(css_string,"top:calc(50%) !important;"," ");

Before you go updating you can run some queries like:

Select css_string, REPLACE(css_string,"top:calc(50%) !important;"," ") as "change to" from table
