Hello, I have a question how to create a search query. I have a database with text fields. I want to search for a specific word (string) that a users enters, but this word (string) must be searched after a specific word(string). So for example if I have the text "I hope there is a specific answer for my question. Conclusion: This is a specific question." The word to be searched for is "specific" but it should be searched after the word "Conclusion:".I hope it makes sense what I am trying to explain. Thank you.Sten |

I'm not 100% sure if this is what your after, but you could do a LIKE comparison:DECLARE @Foo VARCHAR(MAX);SET @Foo = 'I hope there is a specific answer for my question. Conclusion: This is a specific question.'SELECT 1 WHERE @Foo LIKE '%Conclusion:%specific%' |
