Here is our problem:

We are creating a search that includes (among several other fields) four VARCHAR(100) fields that can contain CSV lists of items (ids, names, etc.) and wildcards. This may look something like this:

A user may type in "TheIDField": [5.7, 4.6, 6.*, 7.5* ]

What we're now trying to do is to...

SELECT FROM WHERE id IN ()

But at the *same* time we have to parse for the "LIKE '6.%' OR LIKE '7.5%'.

Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated!!

SQL Server 7.0 / NT 4.0 SP3"
