ABAP formule text

Former Member — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:10:01 GMT

Hello,

I am looking for an ABAP formule witch returns the indice of a caractere in a text.

for example : I want to know the indice of the first "blank".

In the Text "CELL 2 10 512" the fisrt blank is the 5th caractere.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

You need to use the ABAP statement FIND. Have a read of the help for the details.

Hi,

In my WebAS 7.0 system this is not marked as obsolete. Which release are you using?

Hi ,

Try this:

DATA : ipstr TYPE string.

DATA : len TYPE i VALUE 0.

DATA : ch TYPE char1.

DATA : num TYPE i VALUE 0.

DATA : pos TYPE char3.

ipstr = 'CELL 2 10 512'.

len = STRLEN( ipstr ).

DO len TIMES.

ch = ipstr+pos(1).

pos = pos + 1.

IF ch = space.

num = pos.

WRITE: 'Blank foud in position: '.

WRITE: num.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

Hope this information is help to you.
