I have a stored procedure which expects one parameter @Company
The variable @Company holds pipe delimited value: "CNN|AOL|ABC"

I need to build a WHERE clause by parsing @Company value, so the select will look like below:

SELECT *
FROM Company
WHERE CompanyID IN (SELECT DISTINCT(CompanyID) FROM v_Company WHERE CompanyName = 'CNN')
AND CompanyID IN (SELECT DISTINCT(CompanyID) FROM v_Company WHERE CompanyName = 'AOL')
AND CompanyID IN (SELECT DISTINCT(CompanyID) FROM v_Company WHERE CompanyName = 'ABC')

Thanks for your help

SELECT c.*
FROM Company c
INNER JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT CompanyID,CompanyName FROM v_Company) v
ON v.CompanyID=c.CompanyID
WHERE '|' + @Company + '|' LIKE '%|' + v.CompanyName + '|%'
