Problem with REPLACE with binary strings

Hi,

I have a problem with the following line in my procedure inside an Update

binPath = Cast(REPLACE(binPath,
@oldParentPath,
@newParentPath) as VARBINARY )




I'm trying to replace
0x0000036400000368
with
0x0000036400000365
in
0x00000364000003680000039E

and getting

0x000000000364000003650000039E

ie with 4 extra 0s on the left.

Works fine apart from these extra zeros.

Does anyone have an idea please?

Many thanks

Not sure why you need to do this.
But if you CAST the values to strings before the REPLACE it will stop what seems to be some binary logic happening
