问题
how can I replace special characters in my data files (special characters such as bullet points, percent sign, hyphen etc) ?
Thanks
回答1:
You can use T-SQL REPLACE:
REPLACE(FieldWithStars,'*','STAR')
For more than one substitution you could use cascading REPLACE statements.
No clue though about bullet points - but you should be able to replace anything looking for the right escape sequence for that particular character.

This is a late answer, but it might be helpful when replacements involve a large number of tokens and/or their management must dealt outside of the script (i.e. from an UI). Also, mixing data (search/replacement tokens are hardcoded) with logic is not recommended.
Since aggregate replacements do not work (UPDATE
does a single scan through the records), I have used a function to actually perform the aggregate updates for each string). I expect a lower performance than the classic solution, but it has the advantages mentioned above:
-- function to perform the replacements
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ReplaceFromTable (@s NVARCHAR(4000))
RETURNS NVARCHAR(4000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Ret NVARCHAR(4000) = @s
SELECT @Ret = REPLACE(@Ret, R.SearchToken, R.ReplaceToken)
FROM dbo.Replacements R
RETURN @Ret
END
GO
-- drop table dbo.Replacements
create table dbo.Replacements
(
SearchToken NVARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
ReplaceToken NVARCHAR(32) NOT NULL
)
GO
insert into dbo.Replacements values (N'ó', N'o'), (N'ò', N'o'), (N'*', N' ')
GO
select * from dbo.Replacements
go
-- drop table dbo.Strings
create table dbo.Strings
(
StringId INT NOT NULL,
String NVARCHAR(128) NOT NULL
)
GO
insert into Strings values (1, N'Some dummy string'), (2, N'Nòthing really'), (3, N'Nóthing new under the Sun'), (4, N'**Earth**')
GO
select * from dbo.Strings
GO
UPDATE S
SET S.String = dbo.ReplaceFromTable(S.String)
FROM dbo.Strings S
GO
select * from dbo.Strings
