I am attempting to break a string with 3 components, seperated by .
(period) characters, and convert each component to an Integer value.
For example, if I have a string like this:
1.0.119
I want to break it into
Part A = 1
Part B = 0
Part C = 119
I need to do this in a stored procedure in Firebird.
Are there any equivalents to PHP's 'Explode' function that does this sort of
thing, or some call that will search for the location of a character so I
can do a substring on it to get the component part?
