    This worked for me

    DECLARE @test VARCHAR(50)

    SET @test = 'http://xyz.com/customer/app1.asp'

    SELECT REPLACE(@test, 'xyz.com','localhost')

    2 way street here, Jim. Please post the solution you found. 😉

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Here is what I came up with..

    UPDATE TBLNAME SET COLNAME = REPLACE(COLNAME, 'xyz.com', 'localhost')

    WHERE COLNAME LIKE '%xyz.com%'
