sql server dts : Proccessing a row more than once with intel
http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?266 but to do something a little different. I have a last_name column in the source that I need to evaluate the number of spaces and perform an action based on it. If one space, take the data before the first space and put it in the first_name destination, the data after the space in the last_name destination. If two spaces, take data before first space, put in first_name destination, data between the spaces to the middle_name destination and data after the second space into the last_name destination. If more than two spaces, take data before first space, put in first_name and all the rest in last_name destination. Forgive my activex ignorance, probably something simple.
Hi Ray,
Try this: Create FUNCTION [dbo].[CountChar] (@String varchar(8000), @char varchar(1)) RETURNS int AS BEGIN Declare @count as Int Declare @posStr as Int Set @count=0 Set @posStr=CharIndex(@char,@String) While @posStr > 0 Begin Set @count=@count+1 Set @string=Stuff(@string,@posStr,CharIndex(@Char,@string)-@posStr+1,'') Set @posStr=CharIndex(@char,@string) End Return @count END Select dbo.CountChar('Meneses Junior',' ') HTH, ----- Ray Higdon wrote: ----- I am a newbie to active-x and am trying to use the code at http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?266 but to do something a little different.

This works great for single strings, how can I modify it
for data out of a column? Specifically, something like update table set num_spaces = yourfunction(mycolumn,' ') Appreciate any help. [quoted text, click to view] >-----Original Message-----

Nevermind, I used a silly like '% % % %' statement to find
more than 3 columns and used it, thanks guys [quoted text, click to view] >-----Original Message-----

A quick way to do this would look like this
Imagine "str" is a source column dim str dim diff dim arr dim fName dim mName dim LName str = "Ray Higdon" diff = len(str) - Len(Replace( str ," " ,"" ,1 )) msgbox "There were " & Cstr(diff) & " spaces" arr = split(trim(str)," ") msgbox "The array contains " & Cstr(UBOUND(arr)) & " elements" select case UBOUND(arr) case 1 msgbox "FirstName = " & arr(0) msgbox "SurName = " & arr(1) case 2 msgbox "FirstName = " & arr(0) msgbox "Initial = " & arr(1) msgbox "Surname = " & arr(2) end select -- Allan Mitchell MCSE,MCDBA, (Microsoft SQL Server MVP) www.allisonmitchell.com - Expert SQL Server Consultancy. www.SQLDTS.com - The site for all your DTS needs.

Thanks Allan, it turned out there was way more scrubbing needed than I
originally anticipated. I ended up making a separate SQL task and scrubbing the data. -- Ray Higdon MCSE, MCDBA, CCNA --- [quoted text, click to view] "Allan Mitchell" <allan@no-spam.sqldts.com> wrote in message news:%23Faj4405DHA.2540@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... > A quick way to do this would look like this > > Imagine "str" is a source column > > > dim str > dim diff > dim arr > dim fName > dim mName > dim LName > > str = "Ray Higdon" > > diff = len(str) - Len(Replace( str ," " ,"" ,1 )) > > msgbox "There were " & Cstr(diff) & " spaces" > > arr = split(trim(str)," ") > > > > msgbox "The array contains " & Cstr(UBOUND(arr)) & " elements" > > select case UBOUND(arr) > > case 1 > > msgbox "FirstName = " & arr(0) > msgbox "SurName = " & arr(1) > > > case 2 > > msgbox "FirstName = " & arr(0) > msgbox "Initial = " & arr(1) > msgbox "Surname = " & arr(2) > > > end select > > > -- > > Allan Mitchell MCSE,MCDBA, (Microsoft SQL Server MVP) > www.allisonmitchell.com - Expert SQL Server Consultancy. > www.SQLDTS.com - The site for all your DTS needs. > I support PASS - the definitive, global community > for SQL Server professionals - http://www.sqlpass.org > > > "Ray Higdon" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:6e6301c3e747$e2e971f0$a101280a@phx.gbl... > > I am a newbie to active-x and am trying to use the code at > > http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?266 but to do something > > a little different.
