I have lot of filenames in this format.
"1062.1818-FuncSpecdocument.doc"
how to get second set number starting from dot to hyphen.

with the above example it should give the result as 1818

i have almost 100,000 file names now want to fetch all the id's.

Thank you very much for the helpful info.

If all filenames are in the same format, like you mentioned...then this should work.
declare @d varchar(200)
set @d = '1062.1818-FuncSpecdocument.doc'
select parsename(replace(@d,'-','.'),3)

Beware that this may not work for all set of data if some have more than three dots
