How can I use replace function in an internal table for eg

My internal table contain following entries.

line

my name is xyz

now I want to replace this xyz with priya..how to do that??? Can I use a place holder in internal table and feed data later to it? for eg

line

my name is &

and later add 'priya' in this place holder.

Hello,

You can use the REPLACE stmt for this.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '&' IN v_string WITH 'Priya'.

Hi,

You can use the replace statement

REPLACE sub_string WITH new into text1.

where sub_string = xyz

and text1 = priya.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

See the following code:



DATA: name type string VALUE 'xyz',
      name1 TYPE string VALUE 'priya'.


REPLACE name WITH name1 into name.

WRITE:/ name.

Like this u can loop ur internal table and replace the name.

Hope this helps u.

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, you can do it.

REPLACE 'xyz' WITH 'Priya'.

Other wise you can use move commad and pass to perticular field and append internal table.

Hi There,

use modify.

for eg:

123 345 abc

read that particular line with key using read statement.

itab-<filed> = priya.

Modify <itab>.

Hello Priya,

What is the structure of your internal table? Can you share this?

Else you can try this:


DATA: V_STR TYPE STRING.

LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
MOVE WA TO V_STR.
REPLACE ALL OCCURENECES OF '&' IN V_STR WITH V_TEXT. "You can pass a varaible as well
MOVE V_STR TO WA.
MODIFY ITAB INDEX SY-TABIX.
CLEAR V_STR.
ENDLOOP.

Waiting for your input.

BR,

Suhas

hi,

if you are replacing one reocrd than


    REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF REGEX 'XYZ' IN wa_t090naz-afasl WITH 'PRIYA'.

If you want to alter all record where is name is XYZ.

than use this code




LOOP AT it_t090naz INTO wa_t090naz.

    " Replacing v to l.

    REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF REGEX 'XYZ' IN wa_t090naz-afasl WITH 'PRIYA'.
   
   "wa_t090naz-afasl  is the name of work area of internal table and afasl is the name of field,
Endloop.

Hope it will help you.

Thanks
