SQL Server 2012 :: Strip Non-numeric Characters From A String

Jul 15, 2015

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....

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

Stripping Non-Numeric Characters From A String Function

Jul 9, 2002

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?

Return Only Numeric Characters From A String Column

Dec 4, 2007

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.

Strip Certain Characters

Jul 13, 2004

Can anyone tell me how I can strip certain chahrcters from a string

I know I can use replace, but i don't think this is appropriate for what I want to do

For example I have the string

declare @text varchar (100)
select @text = 'word1, word2 & word3'

if i do a replace on the string like this
select @text = 'replace(@text, ',', '')
select @text = 'replace(@text, '&', '')

I end up with the string
select @text = 'word1 word2 word3'

i.e. 2 spaces between word2 and word3

What i want the string to look like is :
select @text = 'word1 word2 word3'

Is there a way i can check for more than one space + characters ( / , &) in one go

many thanks

Data Export - How To Strip Out The Special Characters

Nov 10, 2005

Hey everyone!
I'm doing an export from SQL into excel spreadsheet and then am going to clean out certain parts of the data with global search/replace. The problem is that the SQL data is full of special characters such as |'s and the little box looking characters.
How do I export without these characters?
I know its possible, I did it about 2 years ago and remember I did some crazy file conversion (make wk3 or something) but I no longer remember
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Geoff

PS, attached is a screenshot of the data to give you an idea of what I'd like to strip!

Reporting Services :: Strip Unwanted Characters From Parameters For SSRS Report

May 22, 2015

I have a third party app that passes parameters (main dataset query) from the app to SSRS.  Unfortunately, when the parameters are passed from the app they will contain equal signs ("=") in front of each parameter.  For example, the parameters that may be passed to the main dataset query should be:

"HYDRO, OKO, ONEPL, TECHNI"

However, the parameters that are passed from the app, get to SSRS as:

"=HYDRO, =OKO, =ONEPL, =TECHNI"

Again, this is for the main dataset query and there may be one parameter or there may be any number of them.

Basically, I need to strip the "=" signs from the parameters. whether there is one parameter or ten.

I believe that I will need a custom function to strip the equal signs?

Strip String From Csv Column

Mar 26, 2004

I have a column of 5 comma-separated-value strings:

stringA, stringB, stringC, stringD, stringE

The strings are GUID's with the hyphen stripped and made all uppercase so they are completely random. I need to be able to remove any one of the strings including the comma, in a stored procedure and I am not sure how to accomplish this.

SELECT tickets
FROM users
WHERE CONTAINS (tickets, @ticket)

IF @@rowcount > 0
REMOVE STUFF HERE
SET @valid = 1
ELSE
SET @valid = 0

So if stringB gets passed in as @ticket then the new value in the column would be :

stringA, stringC, stringD, stringE

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
dave

Strip Text From A String

Feb 17, 2004

I'm trying to find a way to strip text from a string. In the past (pre SQL Server) I would've used

LName: Left(NCBH!Name,InStr(1,NCBH!NAME,",",1)-1)

To strip the last name from a string like

Franks,George J

Apparently InStr is not a recognized function in SQL Server 2000. Or is it available but not in a view?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Converting Numeric To Characters

Sep 29, 2000

I am unfamiliar with the built-in functions in SQL Server. I would like to display a numeric
field with leading zeros. In oracle the sql stmt would be:

SELECT TO_CHAR(amt,'000000')
FROM table_x;

Thus, the number 35 would be returned as 000035.

Is there a way to do this in SQL Server?

Thanks.

Split Numeric Characters From The End.

Jun 29, 2007

I want to write a query which splits numeric characters which appear in the end of the string.



if the sting is like 'Langabaa straat 23' Then the result must give ''Langabaa straat' and '23'



if the string is like 'Jacob straat 23 avenue' The the result must give 'Jacob straat 23 avenue' and ' '



if the string is like 'Jacob avenue, 43' The result must give me 'Jacob avenue' and '43'



So you see that there is comma and a space that does the separation.. how can i achieve this in a query???
