    I'm guessing you're looking at the result in grid format?  That will always be displayed on one row.  Try using Text format and see if that makes a difference.

    If you want the output to be in different rows of a result set (and you did use the word "lines" instead of "rows" in your original post) then search this site for "parse" or "parsing".  You can use the space as a delimiter and put each word in a separate row of a temp table.

    this works the way John described it

    create table #temp_india

    (

    word varchar(20) )

    go

     

    insert

    #temp_india (word)

    SELECT

    REPLACE ('I Love India', ' ', CHAR(13) + CHAR(10))

    select

    * from #temp_india

    drop

    table #temp_india
