    i need to implement the below code in ssis.

    declare @value nvarchar(200);

    set @value='EN 60325';

    WHILE @Value LIKE '%[^0-9]%'

    SET @Value = REPLACE(@Value, SUBSTRING(@Value, PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', @Value), 1), '')

    select @value

    output-> 60325

    Mainly i need alternative to patindex.

    Thanks in advance!

    There is no direct alternative for patindex in the derived column. So you can either use a script component with .NET, or stick with SQL.

    If you can use CLRs you could look at mdq.regexmatches. See this thread.
