Hi I am trying to split a string and display its values.
ie.
I have SET @c='7890A098908A90809A22'

output should look like:
VALUE1 VALUE2 VALUE3 VALUE4
7890 098908 90809 22

Please advice,
Thank you

declare @c varchar(100)
SET @c='7890A098908A90809A22'
select
parsename(replace(@c,'A','.'),4),
parsename(replace(@c,'A','.'),3),
parsename(replace(@c,'A','.'),2),
parsename(replace(@c,'A','.'),1)

Keep in mind that you can apply PARSENAME only if you're sure you have a maximum of 4 values to be extracted to four different fields. If your string contains more than 4 values seperated by A then parsename wont work.

Yes it is.

For any number of columns

declare @s varchar(8000)
select @s='7890A098908A90809A22'
select @s=''''+replace(@s,'A',''',''')+''''
exec('select '+@s)

Thank you all for your help,

Is there away to add column-names as well to the output?

What does a split on delimiters have to do with this?
