I don't take credit for this small function just needed one and found robvolk's article on CSV parsing .... made a function out of it...

http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=2652

CREATE FUNCTION CSV (@String VARCHAR(8000), @Delimeter CHAR(1)) RETURNS TABLE AS
RETURN (SELECT NULLIF(SUBSTRING(@Delimeter + @String + @Delimeter, Value, CHARINDEX(@Delimeter, @Delimeter + @String + @Delimeter, Value) - Value), '') AS Value
FROM Sequences WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE Value <= LEN(@Delimeter + @String + @Delimeter)
AND SUBSTRING(@Delimeter + @String + @Delimeter, Value - 1, 1) = @Delimeter
AND CHARINDEX(@Delimeter, @Delimeter + @String + @Delimeter, Value) - Value > 0)
