I'm trying to get some information about documents stored in a SQL Server 2005 database. The documents are stored in an nText field in a table (called archive), but metadata is stored in other fields and tables.
I have the original filepath, but I wanted to get only the filename (+extenstion).
So actually, I was looking for some sort of T-SQL equivalent of the LastIndexOf C#-function. I couldn't find it easily so I thought substrings and CHARINDEX will do.. :)
Filepath is the column that contains the original filepath in the beneath code example:
 |
| LastIndexOf in T-SQL |
When filepath = 'C:\temp\new\1\document.doc' this returns 'document.doc'
It basically:
- reverses the column filepath
- searches for the first '\'-character (so actually the last)
- and returns the part to the right of the '\'.
