  SELECT * FROM #teststrser

  --MY QUERY

  SELECT *,

  CASE WHEN ACT_LN IS NOT NULL THEN

  CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('EIN', ACT_LN, 1) > 10

  THEN RIGHT(LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING (ACT_LN, CHARINDEX('-', ACT_LN, 1) + 1, CHARINDEX('-', SUBSTRING(ACT_LN, CHARINDEX('-', ACT_LN, 1) + 1, LEN(ACT_LN)), 1) - 1))), 6)

  WHEN CHARINDEX('EIN', ACT_LN, 1) = 0

  THEN RTRIM(LTRIM(LEFT(ACT_LN, 6)))

  WHEN CHARINDEX('EIN', ACT_LN, 1) = 1

  THEN SUBSTRING(ACT_LN, CHARINDEX('EIN', ACT_LN, 1)+4, 6)

  ELSE NULL

  END

  WHEN ACT_LN IS NULL THEN

  CASE WHEN DOC_DSCR IS NULL THEN 'N/A'

  WHEN CHARINDEX('ETAF', DOC_DSCR, 1) > 0 THEN 'NO EIN FOUND'

  WHEN CHARINDEX('EIN', DOC_DSCR, 1) > 10

  THEN RIGHT(LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING (DOC_DSCR, CHARINDEX('-', DOC_DSCR, 1) + 1, CHARINDEX('-', SUBSTRING(DOC_DSCR, CHARINDEX('-', DOC_DSCR, 1) + 1, LEN(DOC_DSCR)), 1) - 1))), 6)

  ELSE RIGHT(SUBSTRING(DOC_DSCR, 1, CHARINDEX('-', DOC_DSCR, 1) - 1), 6)

  END

  ENDAS EIN

  FROM #teststrser

  DROP TABLE #teststrser

  The issue here is, I am searching for the a 6 digit number followed by EIN or if it is at the beginning of the field I am parsing out that field for the EIN #.

  there is a case for which i need help, there are chances the users may enter only five digits at the beginning of the field, in that case, I have append a "zero" in front of the extracted 5 digit number.

  Please let me know any tweaks to the query I wrote to work efficiently.

  Thanks in advance!

  Thanks for the reply Stewart!

  I have to test and make sure, I don't have any other cases that are missing.

  Thanks again!
