Finding Difference In Strings

[willwmagic]

Hey everyone, I am hoping someone can help me with a command that I am struggling to find. What I want to do is run a T-SQL command where it will return only the difference between 2 strings.

For example: If i have "This is a test" and "This is a test which will be good", then i want the command to return "which will be good" I believed there had to be this sort of a command, but i could not find anything close to it. Any ideas on how i would accomplish this?

You may need a stored procedure to do this. CHARINDEX and SUBSTRING functions may be useful

what do expect when the strings are

"This is a test" and "wow,This is a test" ???

I am not so concerned with what is before the string match, but more so with what is after the matched string.
