Hi Emi,

I think you can do this only with knowledge about the meaning of these 
strings.
It is no question of psql or any other database system but of language 
an logic.

Take for example "Modern Music Mix".
This can be a mix-up of music but also the 1009th part of a collection.

Or for example the car Hyundai Tucson ix, where ix doesn't mean the 
number 9.

Regards Martin
