hello, I have this code that helps me count the number of entries a users who chooses to bulk post sms via my website to cell phone numbers.

Basically it counts the number of phone numbers seperated by commas

I would also like to add to this code, to check for certain numbers

[CODE]select len(colname)
-len(replace(colname,',','') + 1
as number_of_items...[/CODE]

I would like to add additional funcitonality to it, to be able, to search for how many numbers start with either 1, 234804 or 44

And assign the total to a variable. And the remaining total to another variable. Its meant to work for our billing platform

How do i achieve this efficiently

thanks
Afrika
