Hello,
You can also use a UDF to split the text with string and return a table.
--create UDF splitstring()
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.splitstring ( @stringToSplit VARCHAR(MAX),@delimiter nvarchar(10))
RETURNS
@returnList TABLE ([Name] [nvarchar] (500))
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @name NVARCHAR(255)
DECLARE @pos INT
WHILE CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @stringToSplit)>0
BEGIN
SELECT @pos = CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @stringToSplit)
SELECT @name = SUBSTRING(@stringToSplit, 1, @pos-1)
INSERT INTO @returnList
SELECT @name
SELECT @stringToSplit = SUBSTRING(@stringToSplit, @pos+len(@delimiter), LEN(@stringToSplit)-@pos)
END
INSERT INTO @returnList
SELECT @stringToSplit
RETURN
END
declare @string varchar(MAX)='Email:[email protected] University,Bachelors,1986---University of Virginia School of Law,Doctor of Jurisprudence,1991---French,Working---Italan,Fluenty---Phone:zzz zzz zzzz'
select * from splitstring(@string,'---')
--drop UDF
drop function splitstring
