    Hello friends

    I want to know the charindex of single quote whose ascii is 39 from Given string

    Like below

    Declare @strTest as VARCHAR(100)

    set @strTest = ab'c

    select charindex(CHAR(39),convert(varchar,@strTest))

    don't convert the varchar, as you'll get truncation issues if you don't say how large to convert to;

    the rest is just syntax; you need to escape the single quote to make the variable have the value.

    this returns 3 for the charindex:

    Declare @strTest as VARCHAR(100)

    set @strTest = 'ab''c'

    select charindex(CHAR(39),@strTest)
