Here you go...

CREATE TABLE QueryStringTest (QueryString nvarchar(4000))
GO

INSERT INTO QueryStringTest
SELECT
'Code=web.co.uk%product_250p&TranID=14078800&OtherFlag0=services.web.stats.PostContentDelivery&OtherFlag0par=deliv'
UNION SELECT
'Code=web.co.uk%product_free&TranID=14077576&OtherFlag0=services.web.stats.PostCSDelivery&OtherFlag0par=deliv'
UNION SELECT
'Code=web.co.uk%product_250p&TranID=14077583&OtherFlag0=services.web.stats.PostCSDelivery&OtherFlag0par=deliv'
UNION SELECT
'Code=web.co.uk%product_250p&TranID=14077584&OtherFlag0=services.web.stats.PostCSDelivery&OtherFlag0par=deliv'
UNION SELECT

UNION SELECT
'Code=web.co.uk%product_250p&TranID=14077604&OtherFlag0=services.web.stats.PostContentDelivery&OtherFlag0par=deliv'

SELECT
SUBSTRING(QueryString,
CHARINDEX(
'TRANID=',
UPPER(QueryString))+7,
CHARINDEX('&',
QueryString,
CHARINDEX(

FROM QueryStringTest ORDER BY TransID


DROP TABLE QueryStringTest
