SQL Server INDENT function


INDENT

Updated: 30 April 2009

Use INDENT to place characters at the beginning of a string of text.
 Syntax
SELECT [wctString].[wct].[INDENT] (
   <@Text, nvarchar(max),>
 ,<@IndentChars, nvarchar(4000),>
 ,<@IndentLevels, int,>)
Arguments
@Text
the text to be indented. The @Text argument can be of data types that are implicitly convertible to nvarchar or ntext.
 
@IndentChars
the character or characters to be used for indenting. The @IndentChars argument can be of data types that are implicitly convertible to nvarchar or ntext.
 
@IndentLevels
the number of times that the @IndentChars is to be repeated at the beginning of @Text. The @IndentLevels argument can be an expression of types that are implicitly convertible to int.
 
 
Return Types
nvarchar(max)
Remarks
·         The result of INDENT changes the width of the TEXT. To add characters to the beginning of @Text while still limiting the overall width, use the PADLEFT function.
·         The @IndentChars are inserted after every CRLF in @Text.
Examples
 
select wct.INDENT('Now is the time for all' + wct.CRLF() + 'good men to come to the aid of their country'
,'>'
,5)
 
This produces the following result
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>>>>Now is the time for all
>>>>>good men to come to the aid of their country
