remove extra characters

I have the following sql statement:

SELECT FTE_CLASS_GROUP_NBR_DSCR
FROM dbo.DLIST_FTE_CLASS_GROUP
WHERE FTE_GRP_ID IS NOT NULL

This is an example of the result returned:

9999/00 Some lenghty text is displayed after the numbers

I want to trim everything after 9999/00

Is there a way to use rtrim to remove the characters after the numbers or another method?

Thanks,
-D-Please disregard...I found the solution. Thanks.

REPLACE?

FROM SQL BOL:
REPLACE (string1, string2, string3)

SELECT REPLACE('abcdefghicde','cde','xxx')
GO

(no column name)
abxxxfghixxx|||Can you just force an Accent-Insensitive collation for the comparison? This is lots faster, easier, and more reliable than trying to "skin the string" yourself.

Brett: What they want is to convert any of (, , , , , ) into A. There are lots of letters, and some strange conversion rules. A collation change is easy, standard, and reliable.

-PatP|||Why Do people use other than out of the box collation?

I mean, I know there are certain situations...but I haven't seen one where it's been needed.

I love when they set up case sensitive...

Thanks for coming up for some air....

Remove all non digit characters from some string

Hello.
How can I write some stored procedure or function to which I will pass the
string and it will return me only numbers from my string?
Exactly I need to remove all non digit characters from some string.
Tank you.
You could write an extended stored proc in a dll...dont know if this best
solution though

|||David,
If you have a fixed set of characters to remove i.e., like with a phone
number you could do something like this:
DECLARE @.TELEPHONENUMBER VARCHAR(25)
SET @.TELEPHONENUMBER = '(503)999-1851'
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(@.TELEPHONENUMBER,' (',''),')',''),'
',''),'-','')

This might not be the most efficient way of doing it but it works :-)
DECLARE @.InputString varchar(32)
DECLARE @.OutputString varchar(32)
DECLARE @.i int
SET @.InputString =3D 'ABC123!=A3$456'
SET @.i =3D NULLIF(PATINDEX('%[0-9]%',@.InputString),0)
WHILE @.i IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
SET @.OutputString =3D isnull(@.OutputString,'') +
SUBSTRING(@.Inputstring, @.i, 1)
SET @.i =3D @.i +
NULLIF(PATINDEX('%[0-9]%',SUBSTRING(@.InputString,@.i+1,len(@.InputString))) ,0)
END
SELECT @.OutputString -- This gives '123456'
I would normally use a auxilary numbers table instead of the loop, but
didn't have time to go through that in this example.
