Column 01           Column 02           Column 03           Column 04
Ali, House          NumberABC/123,      Sattelite Town,     Lahore.

Answer 1

You can try something like this:

DECLARE @Str VARCHAR(100) = 'Ali, House Number ABC/123, Sattelite Town, Lahore.'

SELECT LEFT(LEFT(@Str, 15) , 15 - CHARINDEX(' ', REVERSE(LEFT(@Str, 15))) )
