Default Replacing Strings - 09-11-2008 , 12:17 PM





Hi,

We have some messages stored in a column in this format: AA|BB|CC|DD

What we want is to replace the vertical bars with a CHR(10) for line
feed, but have 3 leading spaces.

Everything I try seems to only indent the first item 3 characters.
Even I try to replace it with ' ' || CHR(10) and it ignores the
spaces.......

What we want is:
AA
BB
CC

Ideas anyone?
