Hi,

let output string will be,

str="01/Mar/2010,02/Mar/2010,03/Mar/2010,04/Mar/2010,05/Mar/2010"

Some manipulation

Resultant string should be,

"01/Mar/2010,02/Mar/2010<br/>03/Mar/2010,04/Mar/2010<br/>05/Mar/2010"

Here I want to replace Comma (,) by <br/>

Note:

I want to replace even commas only. (ie. before 03/mar/2010 & 05/Mar/2010..
like)

how can I replace this.

T-SQL is not really the best language for the task. I would suggest
that your best choice is to write a CLR function for the task, if
you absolutely need to this in SQL Server. But it is definitely better
to do client-side, as SQL Server should not be bogged down with
presentation details.
