declare @string varchar(100)
set @string = '(12345) text'
--set @string = '(2323234) texttext'
select 
@string
,substring(@string, 2,5)

i want to get information in parathesis (without paranthesis) out of this string and also text, both separately. Just that lenght of substring in paranthesis is not always the same, same goes for text.

thank you for the hint.

[code]SELECT REPLACE(LEFT(@string,CHARINDEX(')',@string)-1),'(','') as numbervalue,SUBSTRING(@string,CHARINDEX(')',@string)+2,LEN(@string)) as textvalue[/code]

thank you visakh16.

and my solution:


select 
@string
,substring(@string, charindex(')',@string)+1 ,len(@string)) as text_part
,replace(reverse(right(reverse(@string), len(@string)-charindex(')', reverse(@string)))), '(','') as int_part

select parsename(string,2),parsename(ltrim(String),1) from
(
	select replace(replace(@string,')','.'),'(','.') as string
) as t
