Hi

How to split a string into 4 new fields and get the characters, except -

1234-56-58-987 --> 1234 56 58 987
5478-98-21-6587 --> 5478 98 21 6587
9875-75-11-55 --> 9875 75 11 55

create table #temp
(
ID nvarchar(15),
A int,
B int,
C int,
D int
)

insert into #temp
values
('1234-56-58-987',0,0,0,0),
('5478-98-21-6587',0,0,0,0),
('9875-75-11-55',0,0,0,0)

UPDATE #temp ............

Thanks in advance !

Try like this

select parsename(replace('1234-56-58-987','-','.'),4)
, parsename(replace('1234-56-58-987','-','.'),3)
, parsename(replace('1234-56-58-987','-','.'),2)
, parsename(replace('1234-56-58-987','-','.'),1)

Also note that parsename works only for 4 parts.It wont work for 1234-56-58-987-0000.
