Hi,

I'd create some external script to fetch the DESCRIPTION column for each row and compute the REF value. Perl or PHP will help you with their regular expressions. Then set the REF column and you're done.

MySQL itself is not very powerful when it comes to regular expressions, so leave it to a smart programming language.
