Question

I have CSV values stored in string as:

    StringBuilder CSValue = new StringBuilder();
    for (int i = 0; i < obj._contactNumbers.Count; i++)
    {
        CSValue.Append(obj._contactNumbers[i]);
        if (i != obj._contactNumbers.Count - 1)
        {
            CSValue.Append(",");
        }
    }

I have passed it to stored procedure (as CSValue.ToString()), now i have to pick each value and store it in cell. How should i seperate these values??

Please help me out!

Answer 1

you can try this one

declare @Temp nvarchar(max), @c int, @a nvarchar(max)

declare @Temp_Table table (value nvarchar(max))

select @Temp = 'a,b,c,g,a'

select @c = CHARINDEX(',', @Temp)
while @c > 0
begin
    insert into @Temp_Table
    select LEFT(@Temp, @c - 1)

    select @Temp = right(@Temp, LEN(@Temp) - @c)
    select @c = CHARINDEX(',', @Temp)
end

select * from @Temp_Table

or you can write a table function to do this, if you need to do it often
