that is not the job of the database server because it can't use indexes for such things - just iterate the result and do it in the application
it would be so much easier if * reply only to the list so the next reply get not off-list * don't top post * dont reply in HTML to plaintext posts these are the string functions https://mariadb.com/kb/en/string-functions/ * the database would not be faster as a script * frankly the opposite may be true http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=59253 * there is no function like substr_count * just install PHP or whatever there is not much to help
