How to remove character '

former_member194416 — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 07:51:22 GMT

Hi am writing a program which analyze source codes some of the results are like "call function 'func_name' " and I need to get the func_name here without ' . Since ' is a special character and used in ABAP coding I can't write a code like replace ' . Does anyone have a solution for this.

Even if I try to use split I can't write split text at '''. It still don't make any sense in ABAP.

Hello

Working code:


REPORT ZSEARCH.
PARAMETERS: P_NAME LIKE D010SINF-PROG.
DATA: PROGTXT(72) TYPE C OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: FUNCT TYPE RS38L_FNAM OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

READ REPORT P_NAME INTO PROGTXT.
LOOP AT PROGTXT.
  IF PROGTXT CS 'CALL FUNCTION'.
    SEARCH PROGTXT FOR ''''.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      DO.
        SHIFT PROGTXT LEFT BY 1 PLACES.
        IF PROGTXT(1) = ''''.
          SHIFT PROGTXT LEFT BY 1 PLACES.
          DO.
            SHIFT PROGTXT RIGHT BY 1 PLACES.
            IF PROGTXT+71(1) = ''''.
              SHIFT PROGTXT RIGHT BY 1 PLACES.
              CONDENSE PROGTXT.
              FUNCT = PROGTXT. COLLECT FUNCT. EXIT.
            ENDIF.
          ENDDO.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT FUNCT.
  WRITE: FUNCT. NEW-LINE.
ENDLOOP.

Hi,

Assign a text-element as ( ' ) and then use it in the replace statement.

Else use like this


Constants: c_quot(4)     type c value ''''.        " For value '

now you can use the replace statement with c_quot.

Regards,

Vik
