    Hello everyone

    I need help to develop logic. In my query i have Alpha Numeric string with commas and hyphens.so from the string i need to populate min and max number

    see below for DDL

    create table #temp

    (Code varchar(50))

    insert into #temp values ('1,11-12ABCDEF(Y)')

    insert into #temp values ('1,11ABCDEF(Y)')

    insert into #temp values ('1,3-4AB1-3CD1-2,4EF(Y)')

    insert into #temp values ('1,3-4MTWRF(Y)')

    insert into #temp values ('1,3ABCDEF(Y)')

    insert into #temp values ('1,3MTWRF(Y)')

    below is the desired output

    codeminmax

    1,11-12ABCDEF(Y)112

    1,11ABCDEF(Y)111

    1,3-4AB1-3CD1-2,4EF(Y)14

    1,3-4MTWRF(Y)14

    1,3ABCDEF(Y)13

    1,3MTWRF(Y)13

    please help me to develop this logic.

    Thanks

    Would the smallest number be "1" and the largest number be "14" for the following?

    7,3-4AB1-3CD1-2,14EF(Y)

    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.
