Replace tab character from string in ABAP

Former Member — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:41:21 GMT

hi experts,

I have a string like this "a<tab character>_{b<tab character>}c<tab character>_{d". for my processing i want the output like "a}b_cd". How can i replace all occurances of this tab character from my string.

tab character = a hexa decimal character. I dont know the hex value for this.

regards

Raghav

tabulator is 09

if you are in ECC there is a class to mantain Unicode, I think it's called cl_abap_char_utilities and it has the tabulator inside

You shouldn't consider anybody's expertise based on the joining date.
