    You should use a funcation.

    define a funcation like

    CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplittingByDot]

    (

    @SourceData varchar(255)

    )

    RETURNS NVARCHAR

    AS

    BEGIN

    ......

    END

    then use the

    SELECT dbo.SplittingByDot(OutlineNumber) FROM dbo.Tally

    get the result

    Other than writing a CLR, it would a lot faster to write an iTVF (Inline Table Valued Function) and then use CROSS APPLY to reference it.

    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.
