REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES

Former Member — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 11:09:50 GMT

HI All,

How can I replace ' - ' with SPACE.

I m using

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '-' IN VALUE WITH ' '.

It is removing '-' but not getting space.

How can I have space.

Thanks,

Anshul.

Try this code

Suppose var_a is haveing data which have data along with '-' and has to be replaced by space

data: temp(1) type c value '-'.

REPLACE temp WITH space INTO var_a.

Now see the content of variable var_a all the '-' will be replaced by space.

Hope this helps.

Use:

TRANSLATE wa_var USING '- '.

This should work for u.

Hi,

The below code will work for your requirement.

DATA:w_txt TYPE char50 VALUE 'Hi How-are-you?'.
 
DO."Repeat until ',' is thr
  IF w_txt CA '-'. "Checking for '-'.
    w_txt+sy-fdpos(1) = space. "Replacing the '-' with space
  ELSE.
    EXIT. "Come out when thr is no '-'.
  ENDIF.
ENDDO.
 
WRITE:/ w_txt.

i/p is: Hi How-are-you?

o/p is : Hi How are you?

Hope thi helps you.

Hi,

In this case you would have to replace it by applying the logic.

first find '-' and then replace it with ' '.

use this code,this is working surely:

DATA: g_string TYPE string VALUE 'abc-def-ghi-jkl-',
g_newstring TYPE string,
g_text(1) TYPE c VALUE '-',
g_cnt TYPE i,
g_char(1) TYPE c,
g_int TYPE sy-index,
g_flag(1) TYPE c.


g_cnt = STRLEN( g_string ).
DO g_cnt TIMES.
  IF g_char IS INITIAL.
    g_char = g_string+0(1).
  ELSE.
    g_int = sy-index - 1.
    g_char = g_string+g_int(1).
  ENDIF.
  IF g_char = '-'.
    g_flag = 'X'.
    CONCATENATE ' ' g_newstring INTO g_newstring.
  ELSE.
    IF g_flag = 'X'.
      CONCATENATE g_newstring g_char INTO g_newstring separated by space.
      clear g_flag.
    ELSE.
      CONCATENATE g_newstring g_char INTO g_newstring.

    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.

ENDDO.

hi,

try this

data: var(20) type c.

data: begin of itab occurs 0 ,

var(20) type c,

end of itab.

var = 'HAO-how-are-you'.

write:/ var.

split var at '-' into TABLE itab.

CLEAR VAR.

LOOP AT ITAB.

IF SY-TABIX EQ 1.

CONCATENATE ITAB-VAR VAR INTO VAR SEPARATED BY SPACE.

ELSE.

CONCATENATE VAR ITAB-VAR INTO VAR SEPARATED BY SPACE.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

WRITE:/ VAR.
