In the Portal1 case expression in the script at the bottom I would like
to replace where the result 1 is returned, with the substring function
returned as Portal
{SUBSTRING(Field1, CHARINDEX('tonep', Field1) + 4, (CHARINDEX('.txt',
Field1) - 8) - (CHARINDEX('tonep', Field1) + 4))}
However, I am experiencing errors. I think it is because The substring
function will not return a number as the case expression expects so I
must incorporate cast or convert, but do not know how. Can you help???
SELECT portal1 = CASE WHEN len(Field1) > 5 THEN 1 ELSE '' END,
SUBSTRING(Field1, CHARINDEX('tonep', Field1) + 4, (CHARINDEX('.txt',
Field1) - 8)
- (CHARINDEX('tonep', Field1) + 4)) AS portal,
Table.*
FROM Table 2 1166

Hi chudson007,
From your description, I don't understand what you're trying to achieve.
Maybe you could illustrate this some more by providing
- The table structure, posted as CREATE TABLE statements (irrelevant
colunms may be omitted, but please include all constraints)
- Some illustrative rows of sample data, posted as INSERT statements
- The expected output or results
See www.aspfaq.com/5006 for more details and some hints on how to
assemble this info.
Best, Hugo

Hi
As Hugo has requested DDL and sample data is really the only way to know
exactly what is happening.
But, when Field1 is less than 8 characters or does not contain ".txt" or
"tonep" you may get problems.
