so on.
I want to remove Non-numeric characters from above (space,'(',')',+,........)
i want to write something generic (suppose some function to which i pass the column)

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....
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.

I have an Address column that I need to Substring. I want to remove part of the string after either, or both of the following characters i.e ',' OR '*'
Example Record 1. Elland **REQUIRES BOOKING IN***
Example Record 2. Theale, Nr Reading, Berkshire
Example Record 3. Stockport
How do I achieve this in a CASE Statement?
The following two case statements return the correct results, but I some how need to combine them into a single Statement?
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(',',Address) =0
THEN LEN(Address )
ELSE CHARINDEX(',' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test'
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('*',Address ) =0
THEN LEN(Address)
ELSE CHARINDEX('*' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test2'
I'm presented with a problem where I have a database table which must be migrated via a "custom tool", moving the data into a new table which has special character requirements that didn't exist in the source database. My data resides in an SQL Server 2008R2 instance.
I envision a one-time query which will loop through selected records and replace the offending characters with --, however I'm having trouble understanding how this works.
There are roughly 2500 records which meet the criteria of "contains bad characters", frequently containing multiple separate bad chars, and the table contains roughly 100000 rows.
Special Characters are defined as #%&*:<>?/{}|~ and ..
While the field is called "Filename" it isn't always so, it is a parent/child table where foldernames are also stored.
Example data:
Tablename = Items
ItemID Filename ListID
1 Badfile<2015>.docx 15
2 Goodfile.docx 15
3 MoreBad#.docx 15
4 Dog&Cat#17.pdf 15
5 John's "Special" Folder 16
The examples I'm finding are all oriented around SELECT statements, to change the output of what I see returned, however I'd rather just fix the entire column using an UPDATE. Initial testing using REPLACE fails because I don't always have a single character as the bad thing in a string.
In a better solution, I found an example using a User Defined Function to modify the output of a select, but I cannot use that UDF in an UPDATE.
My alternative is to learn enough C# to modify the "migration tool" to do this in-transit, but I know even less about C# than I do of SQL.
I gather I want to use @@ROWCOUNT to loop through the rows but I really can't put it all together in a cohesive way.
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?
If I have a string with the following values, I’d like to replace the non-numeric characters with a space.
Input
01234-987
012345678
01234 ext 65656
Tel 0123456
012345 898989
Output
01234 987
012345678
01234 65656
0123456
012345 898989
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.
There are unwanted characters(''','/','&'.. etc) in column.

What functions or query methods could achieve this?
I was hoping for something similar to RTRIM but that is only specific to white space.
Why can i get the numeric values from this string?
{_cpn}=1743; {_cpnll}=4511
Result: 1743, 4511
Position and len of the value can be different...
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.
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???
Problem about pass a big string (over 8000 characters) to a variable nvarchar(max) in stored procedure in SQL 2005!
I know that SQL 2005 define a new field nvarchar(max) which can stored 2G size string.
I have made a stored procedure Hellocw_ImportBookmark, but when I pass a big string to @Insertcontent , the stored procedure can't be launch! why?

I'm attempting to move data from a text field to a numeric field, but I need to be able to remove any non-numeric characters in that field first, but I do not want to lose the numeric data.
In the code below, the Value table is the table that will be converted.
INSERT INTO IntegerValues (FK_ReferenceID,FK_ReferenceType,FK_FieldID,FieldProperty,Value,CreationDate,CreatedBy,Revision)
SELECT FK_ReferenceID,FK_ReferenceType,FK_FieldID,FieldProperty,Value,CreationDate,CreatedBy,Revision
FROM StringValues WHERE FK_FieldID in (select id from ##tmpFields)
Any ideas on how I may do that?

We have an address table with a house_num field which is a nvarchar.
Most of house numbers are numbers like 1234, 0989
But some of them have a letter behind it like 678 B, 8909 F, even some like this 123/B
We would like to remove any non-numeric letter for this column.
Is there a way to do it?
I need extracting string that is between certain characters that are in certain position.
Here is the DDL:
DROP TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest](
[StoreNumber] [varchar](50) NULL,
[StoreNumberParsed] [varchar](50) NULL)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
[Code] ....
What I need to accomplish is to extract the string that is between the third and fifth '-' (dash) and insert it into the StoreNumberParsed while eliminating the fourth dash.
Sample output would be:
KY117
CA132
OH174
MD163
FL191
I know that parse, charindex, patindex all might come in play, but not sure how to construct the statement.
Hi all,
I have a stored procedure that generates the following SQL WHERE clause
UserName LIKE 'Adi234%' AND Fname LIKE 'David%' AND LName LIKE 'Justin%' AND
It is good except that it i can not remove the last AND which is not neccessary at the end of the clause.
I want to remove the last AND that come up at the end, my code places AND after each data field(UserName, Fname, Lname) .
Thanks
I have the following sql statement:
SELECT FTE_CLASS_GROUP_NBR_DSCR
FROM dbo.DLIST_FTE_CLASS_GROUP
WHERE FTE_GRP_ID IS NOT NULL
This is an example of the result returned:
9999/00 Some lenghty text is displayed after the numbers
I want to trim everything after 9999/00
Is there a way to use rtrim to remove the characters after the numbers or another method?
Thanks,

Can unwanted characters (e.g. control codes) be replaced or removed in varchar fields during extraction inside DTS package?
SQL Server/SSIS 2005.
Thanks, Andrei.
I am trying to count the characters in a sting before a space. Here is the example of what I am trying to accomplish.
"2073 9187463 2700' 4 7 4, the string character count is 4 before the space, 7 is the count before the next space and the last is the last in the string, if there was more characters within this string for example....'2073 9187463 2700 7023 6044567' it would return the number of characters in the string before the space and at the very end of it.
I have a varchar field which contains some Greek characters (α, β, γ, etc...) among the regular Latin characters. I need to replace these characters with a word (alpha, beta, gamma etc...). When I try to do this, I find that it is also replacing some of the Latin characters.
DECLARE @Letters TABLE (Letter NVARCHAR(10))
INSERT INTO @Letters VALUES ('a'), ('A'), ('b'), ('B'), ('α')
SELECTLetter, REPLACE(Letter,'α','alpha')
FROM@Letters
In this case, the "α" is being replaced, but so are "a" and "A".
I have tried changing the datatype from varchar to nvarchar and also changing the collation.
Hi
I have a table with a few hundred emailadresses. How can I delete all quotes (') from the addresses, so that 'email@email.com' is replaced as email@email.com.

I have built a SSIS package that reads in data from a SQL Server 2005 source database into a flat file destination. The Row Delimiter is {CR}{LF}. The Column Delimiter is Tab {t}.
The data being read from the SQL Server database contains both {CR}{LF} and Tab {t} characters in various fields on several rows.
How can I process the input data from the SQL Server to remove these characters before passing it to the destination output file?
Sorry if this is obvious to all, but I am only just starting with SSIS...
Many thanks
Adrian
I have a SQL select syntax as below
0 AS SalaryMin,
2088 AS SalaryMax,
2088 AS BillableHours,
'Month' AS SalaryPaidCode,
0 AS SalaryBreakdownHourly,
0 AS SalaryBreakdownDaily,
[Code] ...
While outputting to CSV.file
I got :0,2088,2088,"Month",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"N/A","N/A","G","N/A","Exempt","Other",1
How can I remove all double quotes in the string fields? so that O can get the result as below while the output
0,2088,2088,Month,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,N/A,N/A,G,N/A,Exempt,Other,1
best possible way to remove all the characters after a 3rd repetition of a character?
For Example:
I want 10.0.1600.22 to be 10.0.1600
Everything after and including the '.' to be removed.
I understand Substring_Index() is not available whats the other options?
