<div>
That's basically what I need. <br />
<br />
Another example of what would need to be excluded would be this:<br />
<br />
<b>DD-2ndValue.LocationDate</b><br />
<br />
I would need:<br />
<br />
<b>DD-2ndValue</b> from that string.
</div>


That's basically what I need.

Another example of what would need to be excluded would be this:

DD-2ndValue.LocationDate

I would need:

DD-2ndValue from that string.

Hi,<br />
<br />
How would I go about editing this script to update my column with only the portion of the string after a special character such as . or - &nbsp;?<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27855764-1">update TABLEdata		 
set emailGrouping=case when employeestatus!='Terminated' and emailGrouping is null and DepartmentCode like '2%' 
				then substring(DepartmentDescription, 8, 45) 
		 When employeestatus!='Terminated' and emailGrouping is NOT null and DepartmentCode like '2%'
				then emailGrouping+', '+substring(DepartmentDescription, 8, 45) else emailgrouping
		 end</code></pre>
<br />
<br />
For example, if a string looks like this after the update script is run:<br />
<br />
<b>DD-TheValue-The.Location.N<wbr />ame</b><br />
<br />
I would like it to show:<br />
<br />
<b>DD-TheValue</b>
</div>

Hi,

How would I go about editing this script to update my column with only the portion of the string after a special character such as . or -  ?

(CODE)


For example, if a string looks like this after the update script is run:

DD-TheValue-The.Location.Name

I would like it to show:

DD-TheValue

Print the portion of a string past a special character
