Hi there
I have this string
(title LIKE '%test%') AND (name LIKE '%metallica%') AND (FirstName LIKE '%bob%') AND (ATT LIKE '31') OR (ATT LIKE '32') AND (ATT LIKE '177') AND (ATT LIKE '131')
what I would like is some way to strip the code so that a variable called @personal holds
@personal = (title LIKE '%test%') AND (name LIKE '%metallica%') AND (FirstName LIKE '%bob%')
--please note @personal could have (name LIKE '%metallica%') AND (FirstName LIKE '%bob%') i.e. the title is not required so it should be dynamic
and
@rest = AND (ATT LIKE '31') OR (ATT LIKE '32') AND (ATT LIKE '177') AND (ATT LIKE '131')
AND (ATT will always be AFTER the title, name and firstname, so I hope this helps?

do you just want to do this?
declare @personal varchar(max),@rest varchar(max)
select @personal=left(Thestring,c
,@rest=right(Thestring,len
from (select rtrim('Yourstring') as Thestring
where 'Yourstring' like '%AND (ATT%' ) as x

(title LIKE '%test%') AND (name LIKE '%metallica%') AND (FirstName LIKE '%bob%') AND (ATT LIKE '31') OR (ATT LIKE '32') AND (ATT LIKE '177') AND (ATT LIKE '131')
is pasted in as a variable, yes the SQL may be wrong and im not too worried about that. Maybe I didnt make it clear on my 1st post, really sorry.
what I want is a variable, lets call is @var1, maybe using some string manipulation like substring etc it should hold the following:
@var1 = '(title LIKE ''%test%') AND (name LIKE '%metallica%') AND (FirstName LIKE '%bob%')'
and another variable called @var2 that will hold the following:
@var2 = 'AND (ATT LIKE '31') OR (ATT LIKE '32') AND (ATT LIKE '177') AND (ATT LIKE '131')'
Hope this makes sense, again sorry if I didnt make a good job in explaining it.

Thanks Lowfatspread!!! You STAR, thats what I wanted
AND (ATT LIKE '31') OR (ATT LIKE '32') AND (ATT LIKE '177') AND (ATT LIKE '131')
doesn't logically make sense....
i'm not finding it clear what your overall requirement/intention is...
