    Hi,

    Sorry Sowbhari,

    its working.

    DECLARE @StartTime VARCHAR(MAX),@X XML

    SELECT @StartTime = '7:00 AM <br/> 12:30 PM'

    SELECT @X = CONVERT(XML,'

    ' + replace(@StartTime,'<br/> ','</br>

    ') + '</br>')

    SELECT x.i.value('.','varchar(max)') AS [StartTime]

    FROM @X.nodes('//br') x(i)

    Thanks.

    I would again recommend you look at the articles I referenced. They will perform a LOT better in most situations. Try them out and see what works for you but the DelimitedSplit8K function is crazy fast.
