I have the following string and am trying to select only the characters before the last "</>". How can I do this?
declare @String varchar(500)
set @String = '<p>Assessed By: Michael Jordan Yagnesh</p>

I have an Address column that I need to Substring. I want to remove part of the string after either, or both of the following characters i.e ',' OR '*'
Example Record 1. Elland **REQUIRES BOOKING IN***
Example Record 2. Theale, Nr Reading, Berkshire
Example Record 3. Stockport
How do I achieve this in a CASE Statement?
The following two case statements return the correct results, but I some how need to combine them into a single Statement?
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(',',Address) =0
THEN LEN(Address )
ELSE CHARINDEX(',' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test'
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('*',Address ) =0
THEN LEN(Address)
ELSE CHARINDEX('*' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test2'
I have a string 'ACDIPFJZ'
In my table one of the column has data like
PFAG
ABCDEFHJMPUYZ
KML
JC
RPF
My requirement is that if the string in the column has any of the characters from 'ACDIPFJZ' , those characters have to be retained and the rest of the characters have to be removed.
My output should be:
PFAG -- PFA (G Eliminated)
ABCDEFHJMPUYZ -- ACDPFJZ (B,E,H,M,U,Y Eliminated)
KML -- No data
JC -- JC
RPF -- PF (R Eliminated)
I need extracting string that is between certain characters that are in certain position.
Here is the DDL:
DROP TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest](
[StoreNumber] [varchar](50) NULL,
[StoreNumberParsed] [varchar](50) NULL)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
[Code] ....
What I need to accomplish is to extract the string that is between the third and fifth '-' (dash) and insert it into the StoreNumberParsed while eliminating the fourth dash.
Sample output would be:
KY117
CA132
OH174
MD163
FL191
I know that parse, charindex, patindex all might come in play, but not sure how to construct the statement.
I need to verify data in a column and do pattern matching on the string in each field.
I've create a CLR Function that will verify the element against the patter and return a True or Fales....

I am trying to count the characters in a sting before a space. Here is the example of what I am trying to accomplish.
"2073 9187463 2700' 4 7 4, the string character count is 4 before the space, 7 is the count before the next space and the last is the last in the string, if there was more characters within this string for example....'2073 9187463 2700 7023 6044567' it would return the number of characters in the string before the space and at the very end of it.
I usually do this through Access so I'm not too familiar with the string functions in SQL. My question is, how do you remove characters from the middle of a string?
Ex:
String value is 10 characters long.
The string value is X000001250.
The end result should look like, X1250.
I've tried mixing/matching multiple string functions with no success. The only solution I have come up with removes ALL of the zeros, including the tailing zero. The goal is to only remove the consecutive zeroes in the middle of the string.
I am looking for the fastest way to strip non-numeric characters from a string.
I have a user database that has a column (USER_TELNO) in which the user can drop a telephone number (for example '+31 (0)12-123 456'). An extra computed column (FORMATTED_TELNO) should contain the formatted telephone number (31012123456 in the example)
Note: the column FORMATTED_TELNO must be indexed, so the UDF in the computed column has WITH SCHEMABINDING.... I think this implicates that a CLR call won't work....
I have a varchar field which contains some Greek characters (α, β, γ, etc...) among the regular Latin characters. I need to replace these characters with a word (alpha, beta, gamma etc...). When I try to do this, I find that it is also replacing some of the Latin characters.
DECLARE @Letters TABLE (Letter NVARCHAR(10))
INSERT INTO @Letters VALUES ('a'), ('A'), ('b'), ('B'), ('α')
SELECTLetter, REPLACE(Letter,'α','alpha')
FROM@Letters
In this case, the "α" is being replaced, but so are "a" and "A".
I have tried changing the datatype from varchar to nvarchar and also changing the collation.
Ok so we gotSELECT this, that, others FROM some.database WHERE this=@this So in the database the others field is a string that can have up to 200 characters, but on this particular data pull I only want to pull the first 50 characters of the others field. How can I do that? Thanks.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a problem where I want to write a function to remove recurring characters from a string and replace them with a single same character.
For instance I have the string '12333345566689' and the result should be '12345689'. In Oracle I could do this with "regexp_replace('12333345566689', '(.)1+', '1')", but in T-SQL the only solution I could think of is something like this:
DECLARE @code NVARCHAR(255)
SET @code = '12333345566689';
SET @code = REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(@Code, '1', '~1'), '1~', ''), '~1', '1');
and repeat this for 2 - 9. But I'm sure there is a more elegant version for this in SQL Server 2012.
I have string as below:

I'm trying to search for commonly abbreviated company titles (ie limited, partnership, and so on). I would like to make my sql statement as short as possible (it's already quite lengthy as is). But I'm having trouble netting the abbreviated forms such as LTD and LMTD for limited (I have no control over the data I get, it comes from different counties with no standardization). I've tried using braketted strings like "L[I,IMI,M,]T[ED,D,]" and all other combinations I can think of, including using single quotes in the each string, and removing the empty placeholder and still can grab all instances.
Someone else's insight would be appreciated.
Hi,
I was wondering what would be the best way to remove special characters like, '-', '&' '(',')','#','*', etc... from a number string. To be specific a phone Number string where the string is >= 10.
Thanks, Mark
Hi,
As part of a data search project I need to be able to strip all non numeric characters from a text field. The field contains various forms of phone number in various formats. In order to search on it I am going to remove all non numeric characters from the input criteria and from the data being searched.
In order to do this I decided on using a SQL Server custom function: Pass in field. Loop through all chars, test against asci values for number range. return only numernic data concatenated into a string.
Are there any other more efficient ways of going about this?
Hi
First interaction to the forum.
My Query is :
I had a User Management module in my application where I created a user with name
`~!@#$@%^&*()[_]+|}{":?><-=[[]];',./
Now I have a functionality to search for the user existing. For that give the search string or a single character and it finds out all the records containing the character.
How do I go about it as the SP i created for it gives correct results except the following
1. Search for % - Gives all record
2. Search for _ - Gives all records
3. Search for [ - Gives NO record
4. Search for the whole string - Gives NO Record
I handeled a few issues
1. replaced [ by [[]
2. replaced _ by [_]
So issues 2 & 3 are resolved.
Tried replacing % by [%] but did not work
Could someone plz help
Thanks in advance

Y'all:I am needing some way, in the SQL Server dialect of SQL, to escape unicodecode points that are embedded within an nvarchar string in a SQL script,e.g. in Java I can do:String str = "This is au1245 test.";in Oracle's SQL dialect, it appears that I can accomplish the same thing:INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (TEST_COLUMN) VALUES ('This is a1245 test.");I've googled and researched through the MSDN, and haven't discovered asimilar construct in SQL Server. I am already aware of the UNISTR()function, and the NCHAR() function, but those aren't going to work well ifthere are more than a few international characters embedded within astring.Does anyone have a better suggestion?Thanks muchly!GRB-----------------------------------------------------------------------Greg R.

I have written this query to return only numeric characters from a string.
select *
from TableA
where isNumeric(Column_A) = 1
But I have discovered that the following
SELECT IsNumeric('-')
SELECT IsNumeric('£')
SELECT IsNumeric('$')
SELECT IsNumeric('+')
all return a value of 1. I do not want these in my result set.
If I use Column_A NOT LIKE '%[a-z]%' and Column_A <> '' I get characters such as "", ----- etc in my result set.
I would like a simple way of only returning numbers in my resultset.
Thanks for looking at this.
MS SQL 2000. Does anyone know how to find all rows where an nvarchar column contains a specific unicode character? Is it possible without creating a user defined function? Here's the issue. I have a table Expression (ExpID, ExpText) with values like 'x < 100' and 'y ≤ 200'. where the second example contains Unicode character 8804 [that is, nchar(8804)]. Because it's unicode, I don't seem to be able to search for it with LIKE or PATINDEX. These fail:
SELECT * FROM Expression WHERE ExpText LIKE '%≤%' -- no recordsSELECT * FROM Expression WHERE PATINDEX('%≤%', ExpText) -- no records
However, SELECT PATINDEX('%≤%', 'y ≤ 200') will return 3.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
