I have a text field whose length is more than 8000. I need to do some manipulation with this field but since varchar can only hold upto 8000 how do I parse this text field into chunks of varchar 8000

Please let me know if my question is not clear.

Thanks
sam
 
See the discussion in thread183-490335
 
It would probably be easier to make this field "text" instead of "varchar". A "text" field is variable length can hold over 2 trillion charcters.
