| Note that if it is truly only letters and the string is guaranteed to be well-formed, you can do something like this:(assuming you have a table called Numbers with an int called "Number" from 1 - 1000 or so)select substring(@String, (Number-1)*2 +1,1) as LetterfromNumberswhere Number < len(@string) / 2same basics as the article, but much simplier since you are dealing with fixed-length items in the string.- Jeff |
