Split function equivalent in T-SQL?

Question

I’m looking to split \'1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15...\' (comma delimited) into a table or table variable.

Does anyone have a function that returns each one

Answer 1

This is most like .NET, for those of you who are familiar with that function:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.[String.Split]
(
    @Text VARCHAR(MAX),
    @Delimiter VARCHAR(100),
    @Index INT
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)
AS BEGIN
    DECLARE @A TABLE (ID INT IDENTITY, V VARCHAR(MAX));
    DECLARE @R VARCHAR(MAX);
    WITH CTE AS
    (
    SELECT 0 A, 1 B
    UNION ALL
    SELECT B, CONVERT(INT,CHARINDEX(@Delimiter, @Text, B) + LEN(@Delimiter))
    FROM CTE
    WHERE B > A
    )
    INSERT @A(V)
    SELECT SUBSTRING(@Text,A,CASE WHEN B > LEN(@Delimiter) THEN B-A-LEN(@Delimiter) ELSE LEN(@Text) - A + 1 END) VALUE      
    FROM CTE WHERE A >0

    SELECT      @R
    =           V
    FROM        @A
    WHERE       ID = @Index + 1
    RETURN      @R
END

SELECT dbo.[String.Split]('121,2,3,0',',',1) -- gives '2'
