Hi, All:
I am having a problem with string value. Here is the case. I have two tables. Their primary keys are a little different.
For example:
table1: LALA LULU [33q][v0.1]
table2: LALA LULU [33q] [v0.1]
There is a space in front of the version value which is [v0.1] in table2. Thus, when I join the two tables, they cannot be joined. What I did was using "charindex" function to find the position of "[". However, it gets the position of the first [ appeared. How can I get the second [ in this case? Or do you have any solution to make the string values become the same?? Please help~~~ Thank you!

Charindex has start_location argument.
In your case the statement would be
select charindex('[', col, charindex('[', col)+1) from table2
assume col is the name of the column.
