Selecting data between markers via SQL.

I have a request to pull out specific data from a file. Basically this
is a Green Screen Word processing file for letters, etc.

So fields that are dynamic are deliniated between & & or % % or & % or %
&. At this point I'm not sure how or why the different combinations. I
just want to find all fields with these

For example.
This is a reminder that your account &ACCTNBR& is past due. The due
date was &DUEDATE%.

I am getting ready to write a program to pull these out, but was
wondering if there is a way to do this with SQL.

Thanks

Mike
