Hello...
We inherited a small project in MSSQL. The database has a field in an SQL table called "Address", which, literally, has the following sample values stored in it (6 rows follow as an example) :
Wilson Photography<br>333 54th Ave. North<br>Nashville TN 37209
Wyatt Archaelogical Research<br>4313 Green Hills Rd<br>Nashville TN 37174-5132
Ed Perdue<br>311 Hobbs Dr<br>White House TN 37188
NULL
NULL
Maury Wahtera<br>407 Normandy Circle<br>Nashville TN 37209
What we need...is to be able to have these values...parsed out into "proper" fields in a VIEW, as follows:
NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIPCODE
...wherever the field value is NOT NULL (obviously :-)
We see that those values are separated by a "<br>" string, but we don't know the syntax, to parse this (XML?) value out. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!...Mark
