    Hi,

    try the below one.

    DECLARE @Text VARCHAR(16)

    SET @Text = 'ABC222'

    SELECT SUBSTRING(@Text,PATINDEX('%[0-9]%',@Text),LEN(@Text)) + 100

    ---

    Doesn't return the "ABC" part... 🙂

    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.
