It's likely that your hashes are actually unprintable characters (e.g. line

feeds, accented characters etc.)

Have a look at your source data to see if that is the case.

we cannot compare special char like # using read statment...

but you can replace them using the key word

REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB WITH......
