Try this function
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[func_Split]
(
@DelimitedString varchar(8000),
@Delimiter varchar(100)
)
RETURNS @tblArray TABLE
(
ElementID int IDENTITY(1,1), -- Array index
Element varchar(1000) -- Array element contents
)
AS
BEGIN
-- Local Variable Declarations
-- ---------------------------
DECLARE @Index smallint,
@Start smallint,
@DelSize smallint
SET @DelSize = LEN(@Delimiter)
-- Loop through source string and add elements to destination table array
-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHILE LEN(@DelimitedString) > 0
BEGIN
SET @Index = CHARINDEX(@Delimiter, @DelimitedString)
IF @Index = 0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO
@tblArray
(Element)
VALUES
(LTRIM(RTRIM(@DelimitedString)))
BREAK
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO
@tblArray
(Element)
VALUES
(LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(@DelimitedString, 1,@Index - 1))))
SET @Start = @Index + @DelSize
SET @DelimitedString = SUBSTRING(@DelimitedString, @Start , LEN(@DelimitedString) - @Start + 1)
END
END
RETURN
END
Example Usage – simply pass the function the comma delimited string as well as your required delimiter.
DECLARE @SQLStr varchar(100)
SELECT @SQLStr="Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Pluto, Minnie Mouse"
SELECT
*
FROM
dbo.func_split(@SQLStr, ',')
Result will be like this
