Hi all

I am pretty new to MSSQL and have a problem. The solution is probably very simple but I cant find it

I have a database field ZIP, I also have string with consists of a number of UK part postcodes eg

'S10 S11 S7 S17 S8 S3 S30'

I want to perform a SELECT check if the database field ZIP is in the string. I have used CHARINDEX as follows

charindex(uzip,'S10 S11 S7 S17 S8 S3 S30') > 0

BUT the problem is if the database field ZIP is , say S1 then it still finds it in the string because S10 in there which is obvioulsy incorrect

any help would be much appreciated

Thanks
