The problem is that SQL string handling is pretty poor: if you are retrieving this into a presentation language, you would be much better off doing this there: it's easier, cleaner and much easier to maintain.

But you can do it: you need to use nested substrings, (and hope that your data is all the same format)

SQL

SELECT SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING(MyColumn, CHARINDEX(' ', MyColumn) + 1, 2000), 0, CHARINDEX(' ', SUBSTRING(MyColumn, CHARINDEX(' ', MyColumn) + 1, 2000))) FROM MyTable
