Replace Character with Space

Former Member — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:20:30 GMT

We need to replace dashes in a string with a space.


DATA result TYPE string.
result = 'Hello--World!'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '-' IN result WITH ' '.

However ABAP compresses all space and the result is

'HelloWorld!'

Try this.


DATA result TYPE string.
DATA blank TYPE c LENGTH 20.
result = 'Hello--World!'.
OVERLAY result WITH blank ONLY '-'.
WRITE:/ result.

REPLACE statement does not respect blanks, OVERLAY does.

Hello

If you unnecessary to use REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES, that try this way:


DATA result TYPE string.
result = 'Hello--World!'.
translate result using '- '.
condense result.
write result.
