Replace and Condense

Former Member — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 11:36:28 GMT

Hi ,

I have a string in this way .

' Welcome # to## ABA#P '

I would like to remove the occurances of # so that the string output will be

' Welcome to ABAP '

if i use the replace and the condense statements, the output is wrong and the data im getting is incorrect and is in the following was ' WelcometoABAP '

Any solution to this ???

Regards

Hi Mustameer

yes condense will remove leading and closing blanks are completely removed and any other directly consecutive blanks are all replaced by exactly one space character or - if NO-GAPS is specified - are also removed completely.

Use REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' WITH SPACE.

write: string.

The ourput that i get when i use the all occurances option is 'Welcome to ABA P ' as the # will be replaced by a ' ' .

but i want to know how do i remove this space while maintaining the space b/w the words .

You have to split the string into two diff strings & use CONDENSE on the string that holds 'ABA P'; And the concatenate the two strings separated by space.

Hello,

Just copy paste the code....


data: str type string.

str = 'Welcome # to## ABA#P'.

replace all occurrences of substring '#' in str with ' '.

write: str. " String with gaps..."

condense str.

write: str.

Hope it helps.

HI khan

then you have concatenate

field = 'welcome to aba p'.

concatenate field0(14) field15(1) into field.

hi,

DATA: A(4) TYPE C,

A1(20) VALUE 'Wel#ome # to## A#A#P '.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' IN a1 with space.

write a1.

O/p which i got : Welome to AAP.

i had tried the code and it is wrking fine , infact it will take care of the space by itself.

Cheers

Without your string manipulation you can do the following way.

Your string ' Welcome # to## ABA#P '

Replace # value with null value, usually with this '' (single quotes) not with the space.

I think this should resove your issue.
