Hi ,

first u need to find out length of the string

n = strlen(string).

n = n - 3.

now by using offset lengths u can get it

file = string+n(3).

Search for '.' in the string and than you take sy-fdpos, which will give the character position and from that take 3 position.

for example

data : l_temp_string.

l_string : c:\new\temp\create.doc

search for '.' in the string l_string.

l_temp_string = l_string+sy-fdpos(3).

I think this should work

Hi,

RIGHT(@SHORT_TEXT,3)

Displays the last three characters of the string. For example, a value of FINALCOST would be displayed as OST.

Hope that helps.

Hi Sai,

Try this:

w_strlen = strlen( w_str1 ).

w_offset = w_strlen - 3.

w_str2 = w_str1+ w_offset(3).

write: / w_str2.

Hi,

You can split the string at a delimiter here '.' (dot). eg is

DATA: string(60) TYPE c,

p1(20) TYPE c,

p2(20) TYPE c,

del(1) TYPE c VALUE '.'. (delimiter)

string = ' filename.ext'.

SPLIT string AT del INTO p1 p2.

It will split the string. put your filename into p1 and your extension into p2.

Then you can read p2 and know your file extension.

I hope it will help.

DATA: PATH TYPE STRING VALUE 'C:\Documents and Settings\prakashreddys\Desktop\VA01.TXT'.

DATA: LENGTH TYPE I.

DATA: EXTEN(3) TYPE C.

DATA: COUNT TYPE STRING.

Hello,

i am working in SAP BI and i have a very similar problem. The point is that i have never programmed in ABAP so I hope someone can help me in that matter. In the SAP Source-Sytem from where I am extracting the data there is a field with the name ZZFILE_NAME. The content of this field is for example the following data:

Example 1: u201C/home_dev/x11/Electricidad/0024/Alta/A1/0024_A1_01_01_20080522_ES0031406938784737AY0F_200800000001.xmlu201D

*Example 2:*u201C/home_dev/x11/Gas/No_GND/0230/A1_SCTD_GC_0031_0230_02_20080526_100721.xmlu201D

I just need to import into the Business Warehouse System the content of the data after the last slash. So in the case of the example I need just:

Example 1:

u201C0024_A1_01_01_20080522_ES0031406938784737AY0F_200800000001.xmlu201D

Example 2:

u201CA1_SCTD_GC_0031_0230_02_20080526_100721.xmlu201D

The transfer-Routine actually is like the following code. What do I have to change there?

PROGRAM trans_routine.

This subroutine needs to be implemented only for direct access
(for better performance) and for the Report/Report Interface
(drill through).
The inverse routine should transform a projection and
a selection for the target to a projection and a selection

If the implementation remains empty all fields are filled and
