Replacing multiple new line characters

Former Member — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 10:16:16 GMT

how to replace multiple new line characters in a line.

Suppose for example my line contains Example1#####Example2##Example3###Example4,

then the output should be Example1#Example2#Example3#Example4.

Hi Sid,

You Can try this code

DATA: ld_string TYPE string,

ld_string1 TYPE string,

ld_string2 TYPE string,

ld_string3 TYPE string.

ld_string = 'Example1#####Example2##Example3###Example4'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '######' in ld_string with '#'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '####' in ld_string with '#'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '###' in ld_string with '#'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '##' in ld_string with '#'.

write:/1 ld_string.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF cl_abap_char_utilites=>new_line in ld_string with ``.

Hi Sidhartha,

Please make use the below code to solve your issue.

**************************************************************

DATA: v_line(50) type c value'Example1#####Example2##Example3###Example4',

begin of itab occurs 0,

data(25) type c,

end of itab.

split v_line at '#' into table itab.

clear v_line.

loop at itab where data is not initial.

concatenate v_line itab-data into v_line separated by '#'.

endloop.

if v_line+0(1) = '#'.

v_line+0(1) = ''.

endif.

condense v_line no-gaps.

write : / v_line.

**********************************************************

Hope this will help you.

Sorry my first attempt was nonsens.


  concatenate CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>newline '+' into pattern.
  replace all OCCURRENCES OF regex pattern in s with CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>newline.

Hi Sidhartha,

Try this piece of code -

REPORT sy-repid.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_split,
        str_lines(255),
       END OF ty_split.

DATA: str TYPE string,
      itab_split TYPE TABLE OF ty_split,
      wa_split TYPE ty_split.

* str contains your input string which has new line characters. you may put the value in that variable as per your logic.

SPLIT str AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf INTO TABLE itab_split.

CLEAR str.
LOOP AT itab_split INTO wa_split.
  IF sy-tabix EQ 1.
    str = wa_split-str_lines.
  ELSE.
    CONCATENATE str cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline wa_split-str_lines  INTO str.
  ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

WRITE str.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Himanshu
