Solution 1

SQL

select
SUBSTRING('abc,xyz,pqr321,123',CHARINDEX(',','abc,xyz,pqr321,123',CHARINDEX(',','abc,xyz,pqr321,123')+1)+1,CHARINDEX(',','abc,xyz,pqr321,123',CHARINDEX(',','abc,xyz,pqr321,123',CHARINDEX(',','abc,xyz,pqr321,123')+1)+1)-(CHARINDEX(',','abc,xyz,pqr321,123',CHARINDEX(',','abc,xyz,pqr321,123')+1)+1))

Replace the sample string in this example with your one

create this function in your database

SQL

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ParseValues]
(@String varchar(8000), @Delimiter varchar(max) )
RETURNS @RESULTS TABLE (ID int identity(1,1), Val varchar(max))
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @Value varchar(max)
    WHILE @String is not null
    BEGIN
        SELECT @Value=CASE WHEN PATINDEX('%'+@Delimiter+'%',@String) >0 THEN LEFT(
          @String,PATINDEX('%'+@Delimiter+'%',@String)-1) ELSE @String END, 
          @String=CASE WHEN PATINDEX('%'+@Delimiter+'%',@String) >0 THEN SUBSTRING(
          @String,PATINDEX('%'+@Delimiter+'%',@String)+LEN(@Delimiter),LEN(@String)) ELSE NULL END
        INSERT INTO @RESULTS (Val)
        SELECT @Value
    END
RETURN
END

now,execute below query you will get desired result

SQL

with a as
(
select '''C20080703115333MCTTtettett'',''24'',''6101349328'',''Bundled Standard'',''4'',''2.00'',''Testing Insert for New SP'','',''PD2013021002584832540''' as c1
union all
select '''C20080703115333MCTTetew'',''24'',''7101349328'',''Bundled Standard'',''4'',''2.00'',''Testing Insert for New SP'','',''PD2013021002584832540'''
union all
select '''C20080703115333MCTTteetew'',''24tt'',''8101349328'',''Bundled Standard'',''4'',''2.00'',''Testing Insert for New SP'','',''PD2013021002584832540'''
union all
select '''C20080703'',''24'',''111101349328'',''Bundled Standard'',''4'',''2.00'',''Testing Insert for New SP'','',''PD2013021002584832540'''
)

select c1,val
from a
cross apply dbo.parsevalues(c1,''',''') as b where b.ID = 3 ;

Happy Coding!
