Stored Procedure To Update Columns

Hello,

I've written an insert trigger to fill in data on 5 columns based on the key
field column after a record is added to a table. The trigger works fine.
But what I also want to do is to write a stored procedure that will update
the 5 columns for the entire table based on the table key field column. I'm
new to both triggers and stored procedures and I can't figure out how to
make a stored procedure do what I want.

Can someone help me to get me started? Here is the trigger code that I am
trying to get to work as a stored procedure. All I'm trying to do is to
break up an entry that contains dashes into separate fields that are
delimited by the dashes. As an example if field CABLENO is equal to
I-IJB-200-45, then I want to break that up into 4 separate fields containing
I, IJB, 200, 45 respectively.

Thanks,

Al Willis
