Function to parse a delimited string

This UDF takes a delimited string and parses it into "words" which are returned as rows in a table. The table returned indicates the position of each element in the source string, and converts values to integer and numeric formats if possible.

The script contains examples on how to use the function.
the original version was written as a stored procedure that worked under SQL Server 6.5. If there is interest, I can upload it as well.
