thank you all for that new code. Abu Dina, you're right on the return correction. Now when i do that correction the function removes only the 'A' vowel., meaning the increment is not working.how can I organize these statements so that the increment works. thankForget the code that increments. Do it the way that Lynn suggested. It will be much faster than any scalar function that you can write.
Unless it's a SQL CLR C# UDF surely?
Well I guess it depends on what the UDF needs to do. I recently posted a question about a SQL scalar function I had which contained over 200 IF statements. It was performing like a pig and I couldn't see a way of converting it to an iTVF so I write it in C#. The result? the C# version was 100 times faster than the SQL equivalent.

It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.

Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.
