You can do this easily in SQL Server...assumming you have SQL 2000 here is
one way using a UDF.
Usage: dbo.listGetAt(list, position, delimiter)
This function returns the value at the position requested. Requesting a
position that is larger than the length of the list will return NULL.
Example: dbo.listGetAt('1,2,3,4', 3, ',') returns 3.
I have a whole host of List Functions if you want them...including:
listAppend
listDeleteAt
listFirst
listGetAt
listInsertAt
listLast
listLen
listPrepend
listSetAt
listToTable
===============================
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON

CREATE FUNCTION listGetAt(@list as varchar(8000), @pos as int, @delim as
varchar(10))
RETURNS varchar(255)
AS
BEGIN
declare @retval varchar(255)
if @pos > dbo.listLen(@list, @delim) OR @pos < 1
set @retval = NULL
else
begin
declare @myPos int
set @myPos = 1
while @myPos < @pos
begin
set @myPos = @myPos + 1
set @list = right(@list, len(@list) -
charindex(@delim, @list))
end
set @retval = @list
if charindex(@delim, @retval) > 0
set @retval = left(@retval, charindex(@delim,
@retval) - 1)
end
return @retval
END
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON

Hopefully... I asked this once before a couple of years ago, but frankly,
the solution was a little difficult for me to figure out.
