split string to individual word

sql enterprise manager (2000)

i pass a variable to a stored procedure.

the variable is
@MsgTxt varchar(160),

i have a table in the db which holds keywords in it.

what i want to do is a check on each individual word contained within
@MsgTxt
for a match on my table table_keyword

is this possible

thankyou in advance for any replys :thumb:

you can use the split function in vb6 to achieve what you want.

like this

VB Code:

Dim StrArray() as String
Dim YourString As String
YourString = "This is your String"
StrArray = Split(YourString)

the result would be
StrArray(0) = "This"
StrArray(1) = "is"
StrArray(2) = "your"
StrArray(3) = "String"

I think he needs in T-SQL?

cheers guys,
i did want it in sql
but i already had a function in place that split the string in the vb.net side

then i run the stored procedure on each word.
basically i am worried i am making an error on this process being 'heavy work'

i.e. if the string has 15 words, i have to execute that stored procedure 15 times - program side.

but i suppose i would have to check each word individually anyway to acheive this :thumb:
