Query to get only numbers from a string
First create this UDF
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_GetNumeric
(
@strAlphaNumeric VARCHAR(256)
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(256)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @intAlpha INT
SET @intAlpha = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', @strAlphaNumeric)
BEGIN
WHILE @intAlpha > 0
BEGIN
SET @strAlphaNumeric = STUFF(@strAlphaNumeric, @intAlpha, 1, '' )
SET @intAlpha = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', @strAlphaNumeric )
END
END
RETURN ISNULL(@strAlphaNumeric,0)
END
GO
Now use the function
as
SELECT dbo.udf_GetNumeric(column_name)
from table_name
SQL FIDDLE
I hope this solved your problem.
Reference
Query:
DECLARE @temp TABLE
(
string NVARCHAR(50)
)
INSERT INTO @temp (string)
VALUES
('003Preliminary Examination Plan'),
('Coordination005'),
('Balance1000sheet')
SELECT SUBSTRING(string, PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', string), PATINDEX('%[0-9][^0-9]%', string + 't') - PATINDEX('%[0-9]%',
string) + 1) AS Number
FROM @temp
Try this one -
Query:
DECLARE @temp TABLE
(
string NVARCHAR(50)
)
INSERT INTO @temp (string)
VALUES
('003Preliminary Examination Plan'),
('Coordination005'),
('Balance1000sheet')
SELECT LEFT(subsrt, PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', subsrt + 't') - 1)
FROM (
SELECT subsrt = SUBSTRING(string, pos, LEN(string))
FROM (
SELECT string, pos = PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', string)
FROM @temp
) d
) t
Output:
----------
003
005
1000
