Hi, <br />
I'm using SQL server 2005<br />
I entered in a bunch of data but forgot to clean one of the fields before I did. <br />
The field has some dashes in it &nbsp; &quot;&nbsp;- &quot;. <br />
<br />
I don't know how to remove the dash in each of the fields by using only SQL. I could do it with perl but I'm wondering how I would loop through all the records and replace the dash (-) with nothing. <br />
<br />
So for arguments sake the field name is &nbsp;address<br />
<br />
Something like <br />
&nbsp;<br />
Foreach record in table AddressList<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Get the value of the field 'address'<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Remove dash(es) if present<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; end foreach<br />
<br />
Thanks, <br />
