Hi.

I have to replace substrings which are between two characters.
For example: I have to replace or remove all the characters that are
between ' \':
So, i have the string abcde\fgh\ikl and i want to get: abcdeikl.

I use the following select statement:

REPLACE(ColumnName, SUBSTRING([ColumnName, CHARINDEX('\', ColumnName),
CHARINDEX('\', ColumnName, CHARINDEX('\', ColumnName) + 1) -
CHARINDEX('\', ColumnName + 1), '')

Is there any more efficient way?

Thanks.
