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 simple CTE will give what's needed:

DECLARE @csv varchar(max) = '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15';
--append comma to the list for CTE to work correctly
SET @csv = @csv + ',';
--remove double commas (empty entries)
SET @csv = replace(@csv, ',,', ',');
WITH CteCsv AS (
    SELECT CHARINDEX(',', @csv) idx, SUBSTRING(@csv, 1, CHARINDEX(',', @csv) - 1) [Value]
    UNION ALL
    SELECT CHARINDEX(',', @csv, idx + 1), SUBSTRING(@csv, idx + 1, CHARINDEX(',', @csv, idx + 1) - idx - 1) FROM CteCsv
    WHERE CHARINDEX(',', @csv, idx + 1) > 0
)

SELECT [Value] FROM CteCsv
