Parse A Numeric String From A Field

Jul 23, 2005

Hello All,

I'm trying to parse for a numeric string from a column in a table. What
I'm looking for is a numeric string of a fixed length of 8.
The column is a comments field and can contain the numeric string in
any position
Here's an example of the values in the column


1) Fri KX 3-21-98 5:48 P.M. arrival Cxled ATRI #27068935 3-17-98
2) wed.kx10/26 Netrez 95860536


Now I need to parse through these lines and return only the 8 digit
numbers in it
The result set should be


27068935
95860536

This is what I've done so far


Declare @tmp table
(
Comments_Txt varchar(255)
)

Insert into @tmp

select Comments_Txt from Reservation

select * FROM @tmp where Comments_Txt
like ('%[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0**9]%')

But it returns the entire comments field in the result set. What I need

is a way to return just those 8 digits.

Any Ideas??


Thanks in advance!!!

[RESOLVED] Parse Non-numeric Characters

Mar 13, 2007

I'm attempting to move data from a text field to a numeric field, but I need to be able to remove any non-numeric characters in that field first, but I do not want to lose the numeric data.

In the code below, the Value table is the table that will be converted.

INSERT INTO IntegerValues (FK_ReferenceID,FK_ReferenceType,FK_FieldID,FieldProperty,Value,CreationDate,CreatedBy,Revision)
SELECT FK_ReferenceID,FK_ReferenceType,FK_FieldID,FieldProperty,Value,CreationDate,CreatedBy,Revision
FROM StringValues WHERE FK_FieldID in (select id from ##tmpFields)

Any ideas on how I may do that?

Pattern Matching - Searching For Numeric Or Alpha Or Alpha-Numeric Characters In A String

Aug 18, 2006

Hi,

I was trying to find numeric characters in a field of nvarchar. I looked this up in HELP.





Wildcard
Meaning



%


Any string of zero or more characters.



_


Any single character.



[ ]


Any single character within the specified range (for example, [a-f]) or set (for example, [abcdef]).






Any single character not within the specified range (for example, [^a - f]) or set (for example, [^abcdef]).

Nowhere in the examples below it in Help was it explicitly detailed that a user could do this.

In MS Access the # can be substituted for any numeric character such that I could do a WHERE clause:

WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE "####*"

After looking at the above for the [ ] wildcard, it became clear that I could subsitute [0-9] for #:

WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%'

using single quotes and the % wildcard instead of Access' double quotes and * wildcard.

Just putting this out there for anybody else that is new to SQL, like me.

Regards,

Patrick Briggs,
Pasadena, CA

Parse A Field

Jun 4, 2007

Hi All!

I have a table, tblstudents that has the fields strfirstname and strlastname. The table was imported from MS Acess where they were storing the first name and the lastname in the same field. Sucks doesn't it? Anyway, I need to write a script to extract the first name from the lastname and insert it into the first name field which is blank. So far I figure I can use select into, but need to find a way to tell sql server to take the fart of the field after the comma (the first name) and to delete the comma becuase I won't need it anymore.

Help!

Select '%,' into tblclients as strfirstname from tblclients

I know this won't work, but I want to show you all I'm at least trying!

Parse A String Using Charindex

Jan 15, 2008

Hi,

I've the following query. I'm using the yellow highlighted to join 2 tables, as these tables dont have a relationship between them.
The format of the name field is 'AAAA-BBBBBB-123'
here A will be only 4 chars, followed by '-' B can be any number of chars again followed by '-' and the last is the id which I'm using to do a join. This query will fail if the id is just 1 digit as its taking the last 3 chars as the id.
I dont know how to get the id from the right using charindex. Charindex would search for the first occurence of '-' from the right and get the chars after hypen i.e 123. How can this be achieved?


SELECT id AS 'ID',
name AS 'name',
sequence AS 'num'
FROM
FirstTable A
INNER JOIN SecondTable q
ON (CONVERT(INT,RIGHT(name,3))= a.id)
INNER JOIN ThridTable t
ON(t.id = q.id)
INNER JOIN FourthTable s
ON (q.name = s.name )
WHERE A.id = @ID
AND t.name=LEFT(s.name,((CHARINDEX('-',s.name))-1))
ORDER BY 'ID','num'


One more question on this is: Is this a good way of joining tables? If I dont use this I've a very large query containing unions. Which one should be bug-free and more efficient?

Thanks,
Subha

Nested CASE To Parse A String

Feb 6, 2006

I am attempting to create a view to bring together multiple joined tables based ona one to many relationship

Eg Table1 contains code, address
Table2 contains code, financial details
table3 contains code, financial history

This view is then going to be used to update a table with only one record for each 'code'. i.e. NewTable = code, add1, add2, city, prov, postal, financialvalue, history value1, history value2

My current stumbling block is:


One of the fields in table1 is a free format address field (address).
eg. could be (street addres, city prov, postal)
or
could be (street address 1, address2, address 3, city prov, postal)

I want to be able to assign individual components of the address to corresponding fields

if # of commas = 2 then
address1 = substring(address,1, position of first comma)
cityprov = substring(address,possition of first comma, position of second comman)
postal = substring(address rest of field)

I have a UDF which returns the number of commas but I cannot figure out how to use either a nested case statement to parse the string...

ANy ideas on how best to accompish this?
( this table is needed for some leacy software which can only handle one record with all infor....

Parse Long String To Columns

Dec 31, 2007



I have a column with varchar(2000) that contains events with time-stamps. The data looks something like this for a record:

03:14:46: abc 03:14:47: def 03:14:59: xyz 03:15:17: zzz

I would like to parse out each time-stamp and event to a separate columns, like

col1= 03:14:46: abc
col2= 03:14:47: def
col3= 03:14:59: xyz
col4= 03:15:17: zzz

The number of events are dynamic so number of time-stamps with events can be anything from 2-30 of them.

Anyone would suggest how I can resolve this?

Thanks.

Parse XML Strings In SQL Text Field

Jul 23, 2005

I am trying to build a query on a SQL2000 text field which contains XMLstring. The query is like "select requestnumber from history whererequestnumber is like '%re1%'". As you can see in the following samplerecords, the xml string has database structure and the requestnumber isa node of the XML. I wonder if it is possible to have SQL server parsethis field and allow me to do the query. If not, any suggestion wouldbe appreciated as to how to store XML data in SQL2000. I am not sureif I misused the SQL2000 XML feature correctly. So far I pass the rawquery result to ADO and manipulate it in XMLDOM.The table is to capture history of changes in any record in mydatabase. So I need to keep it simple so any record from any table canbe stored in here. The structure of the table is like this:sysObjectNumber(int, not null)recordKeyValues(char(30), not null)archiveTime(datetime, not null)history(text, null)A sample record would be like the following:sysObjectNumber recordKeyValues arvhiveTime History=============== =============== =========== =======1728725211 ABC 2005-03-25 8:09:56.700<history><partnumber>ABC</partnumber><type>2140461537</type><color>1</color><remain></remain><lastdatein></lastdatein><lastdateout></lastdateout><lastquantityin></lastquantityin><lastquantityout></lastquantityout><threshhold>null</threshhold><usedby>user1</usedby></history>1728725211 ABC 2005-03-28 11:01:14.407<history><partnumber>ABC</partnumber><type>2140461537</type><color>1</color><remain></remain><lastdatein></lastdatein><lastdateout></lastdateout><lastquantityin></lastquantityin><lastquantityout></lastquantityout><threshhold>4</threshhold><usedby>user2</usedby></history>1728725211 ABC 2005-03-28 11:46:12.723<history><partnumber>ABC</partnumber><type>2140461537</type><color>1</color><remain>4</remain><lastdatein></lastdatein><lastdateout></lastdateout><lastquantityin></lastquantityin><lastquantityout></lastquantityout><threshhold>4</threshhold><usedby>user1</usedby></history>1728725211 ABC 2005-03-28 11:46:35.273<history><partnumber>ABC</partnumber><type>2140461537</type><color>1</color><remain>4</remain><lastdatein></lastdatein><lastdateout></lastdateout><lastquantityin></lastquantityin><lastquantityout></lastquantityout><threshhold>4</threshhold><usedby>user4</usedby></history>

SQL Server 2012 :: Parse A String Every 6 Letters

How to parse a string to equal length substrings in SQL

I am getting a long concatenated string from a query (CTVALUE1) and have to use the string in where clause by parsing every 6 characters..

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PTEMP](
[ID] [char](10) NULL,
[name] [char](10) NULL,
[CTVALUE1] [char](80) NULL
)

INSERT INTO PTEMP
VALUES('11','ABC','0000010T00010L0001000T010C0001')
select * from ptemp

After parsing I have to use these values in a where clause like this

IN('000001','0T0001','0L0001','000T01','0C0001')

Now ,the values can change I mean the string may give 5 values(6 character) today and 10 tomorrow.. So the parsing should be dynamic.

Can You Parse Out A Text String &> 8000 Chars Long??

Mar 30, 2005

Any way to parse out a text value (not varChar, using text data type) that is > than 8000 characters long? I'm looping through 1 big string passed to the DB that is pipe delimited, but I find myself needing the substring function to keep track of which segment I'm acting on (after an update, I then need to take that segment and remove it from the string)...but the subString function won't take anything larger than 8000 chars.

Say I have this string that is text data type...

'aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|....'

..and so on, surpassing 8000 char length, how could you parse it out using the pipes as the delimter, then do an Update using that segment? Afterward, return to that string and find the next segment, then use it, and so on (in a loop). I tried using an update to set the string = replace(string, segmentJustUsed, '') to "erase" it, but replace can't take text as the datatype. Any help? Hope this isn't to confusing.

What are the precision & the scale values in the numeric field for?(as also in int, etc).I need to have a field that is exactly 6 digits in length. However , when I enter the value , in the length column , it defaults to either 5 or 9 , depending on the precision values.
