User-Defined string Functions Transact-SQL

GETWORDCOUNT, GETWORDNUM, AT, RAT, OCCURS,CHRTRAN, STRFILTER, PADC, PADR, PADL, PROPER, RCHARINDEX etc. AT, PADL, PADR, CHRTRAN, PROPER are similar to functions Oracle PL/SQL INSTR, LPAD, RPAD, TRANSLATE, INITCAP. In my humble opinion, it will be convinient to apply such functions for writing of stored procedures and User-Defined Functions on Transact-SQL.
