Hey Jeff - I certainly like that function better than most that I have seen and used. One question I do have though; have you noticed that it always seems to return an estimated number of rows being 100 when looking at the execution plan? It may be the two examples that I have tested so far but the one I had passed in 158 and in the second < 20. It does far better than other functions in that they always return an estimated rowcount of 1 which really botches the execution plan when you have a large string parsed.

I can start this as another thread but wondered if you have noticed this or something similar.
