Hi, i have a table that has one column (FILE_PATH) which has a gigantic long string in it:
x:\PCD\North\Projects\SDP\New SDP 81103\81000\Working\DE\DRG\Common\2745649p5.dwg |
for example.
Now what I need to be able to do, is somehow read all records from the FILE_PATH) column, parse it (probably using the '\' and '.' as a delimiter as i also want a FILE_EXTENSION column) and then populate other columns according to different conditions, as its extremely messy and untidy database ive inherited :-( so x:\PCD\North\Projects\SDP, would go into FILE_PATH, dwg would go into FILE_EXTENSION etc etc etc.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.....
