Completing the answers, you could also use the CSV string to store multiple values in multiple columns:

 --input sql text 
declare @text_IN varchar(max) ='text1, text1.2, text1.3, 1, 2010-01-01\r\n text2, text2.2, text2.3, 2, 2016-01-01'

Split the csv file into rows:

declare @temptable table (csvRow varchar(max))    
declare @DelimiterInit varchar(4) = '\r\n'
declare @Delimiter varchar(1) = '|'
declare @idx int       
declare @slice varchar(max)    

set @text_IN = REPLACE(@text_IN,@DelimiterInit,@Delimiter)


select @idx = 1       
    if len(@text_IN)<1 or @text_IN is null  return       

while @idx!= 0       
begin       
    set @idx = charindex(@Delimiter,@text_IN)       
    if @idx!=0       
        set @slice = left(@text_IN,@idx - 1)       
    else       
        set @slice = @text_IN 

    if(len(@slice)>0)  
        insert into @temptable(csvRow) values(@slice)       

    set @text_IN = right(@text_IN,len(@text_IN) - @idx)       
    if len(@text_IN) = 0 break       
end   

Split rows into columns:

;WITH XMLTable (xmlTag)
AS
(
    SELECT CONVERT(XML,'<CSV><champ>' + REPLACE(csvRow,',', '</champ><champ>') + '</champ></CSV>') AS xmlTag
    FROM @temptable
)

 SELECT RTRIM(LTRIM(xmlTag.value('/CSV[1]/champ[1]','varchar(max)'))) AS Column1,    
        RTRIM(LTRIM(xmlTag.value('/CSV[1]/champ[2]','varchar(max)'))) AS Column2,
        RTRIM(LTRIM(xmlTag.value('/CSV[1]/champ[3]','varchar(max)'))) AS Column3,    
        RTRIM(LTRIM(xmlTag.value('/CSV[1]/champ[4]','int'))) AS Column4,
        RTRIM(LTRIM(xmlTag.value('/CSV[1]/champ[5]','datetime'))) AS Column5
 FROM XMLTable
