  SET @Xml = CAST(('<a>'+REPLACE(@string,@delimiter,'</a><a>')+'</a>') AS XML)

  INSERT INTO @output (splitdata)
    SELECT ltrim(rtrim(A.value('.', 'VARCHAR(MAX)')))  FROM @Xml.nodes('a') AS FN(a)

RETURN

WITH Split(stpos,endpos) 
AS(
SELECT 0 AS stpos, CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@String) AS endpos
UNION ALL
SELECT endpos+1, CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@String,endpos+1)
FROM Split
WHERE endpos > 0
)
SELECT 'Id' = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)),
'Data' = SUBSTRING(@String,stpos,COALESCE(NULLIF(endpos,0),LEN(@String)+1)-stpos)

I think the best solution for such cases is to use Regular Expressions. Check below code project article.

SQL

DECLARE @LongSentence VARCHAR(MAX)
 DECLARE @FindSubString VARCHAR(MAX)
 SET @LongSentence = 'SQL,SERVER,TUTORIAL'
 SET @FindSubString = ','
 SELECT (LEN(@LongSentence) - LEN(REPLACE(@LongSentence, @FindSubString, ''))) CntReplacedChars,
 (LEN(@LongSentence) - LEN(REPLACE(@LongSentence, @FindSubString, '')))/LEN(@FindSubString) CntOccuranceChars

this is working fine for me

Solution 1

You can use SQL Server's SUBSTRING and CHARINDEX functions:

SQL

DECLARE @codeName VarChar(100)
SET @codeName = '1023 - Hydrabad'

SELECT SUBSTRING(@codeName, CHARINDEX('-', @codeName) + 2, 100)

or use appropriate similar .NET methods in your code behind.
