This is what I do, regularly and with increasing frequency:
CREATE TABLE [solutionfour].[test].[theanswer](
[text] [nvarchar](MAX)
)
CREATE TABLE [solutionfour].[test].[theanswerIdx](
[idx][int]IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[text] [nvarchar](MAX)
)
BULK INSERT [solutionfour].[test].[theanswer]
FROM 'C:\arrayMine.txt'
WITH (
--CODEPAGE = 'RAW'
CODEPAGE = 'ACP'
)
INSERT INTO [solutionfour].[test].[theanswerIdx]
SELECT [text] FROM [solutionfour].[test].[theanswer]
Then go to work. See help for TSQL string commands and info on casting and converting as needed ...
Any further questions?
