    Hello!

    I have column of datatype 'text' with data like below:

    <ID=“123” total=“20.00” number=“01-093450”  name=‘test, test1” />

     

    How do I only get the value 01-093450 from the string value above?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    IF you want to extract the value after 'number="' in the string:

    SELECT *,
        SUBSTRING(string, NULLIF(CHARINDEX('number="', string), 0) + 8, 
            CHARINDEX('"', SUBSTRING(string, CHARINDEX('number="', string) + 8, 100)) - 1) 
            AS number_value
    FROM ( VALUES('<ID=“123” total=“20.00” number="01-093450"  name=‘test, test1” />') ) AS data(string)
