CREATE PROCEDURE ChilkatSample
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @hr int
    -- Important: Do not use nvarchar(max).  See the warning about using nvarchar(max).
    DECLARE @sTmp0 nvarchar(4000)
    DECLARE @sb int
    EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.StringBuilder', @sb OUT
    IF @hr <> 0

        PRINT 'Failed to create ActiveX component'
        RETURN
    END

    DECLARE @success int
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @sb, 'Append', @success OUT, '<company><industry>Software</industry><name>Chilkat Software</name><abc>Abc Software</abc><name>Xyz Software</name></company>'

    -- The ReplaceBetween method restricts the replacements to only
    -- the parts that occur between two delimiter strings.

    -- For example:
    DECLARE @numReplacements int
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @sb, 'ReplaceBetween', @numReplacements OUT, '<name>', '</name>', 'Software', 'Technology'

    -- The number of replacements should be 2.

    PRINT 'numReplacements = ' + @numReplacements

    -- The sb now contains:
    -- <company><industry>Software</industry><name>Chilkat Technology</name><abc>Abc Software</abc><name>Xyz Technology</name></company>
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @sb, 'GetAsString', @sTmp0 OUT
    PRINT @sTmp0
