Answer 1

You would want your database table to look something more like this to avoid the problem of parsing the filename out of that HTML in the first place. You can always reconstruct the if you have all the varying data stored separately in the database.

CREATE TABLE images (
    id int IDENTITY,
    path nvarchar(255),
    width int,
    height int
)

If you have some existing data you just want to extract file names from, I would recommend using a tool other than an RDBMS.
