Former Member — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 12:42:59 GMT

I am importing data from a file and the string data has HTML tags in the description example

<FT><H><N>Line Clearance</></></>, Any idea's

how I can programmatically strip the tags away and just leave the text?

SHIFT string LEFT DELETING LEADING '<FT><H><N>'.

SHIFT string RIGHT DELETING TRAILING '</></></>'.

With regular expression it's possible to implement this, I jsut saw in Eddy's tutorial, however I'm almost sure you don't have ABAP 7.00.

Probable there is an easy solution, I'd ask this in the BSP forum.

replace all occurances of '<FT><H><N>' in v_str with ''.

replace all occurances of '</>' in v_str with ''.

Try like this

replace all occurance of '<F>' in text with SPACE .

condence text.

use this command for all the possible tag.

otherwise search last possible TAG i.e <F> etc

take the text till u encounter onaother tag.

FM SOTR_TAGS_REMOVE_FROM_STRING works fine for your requirements.

hi,

try that:

SPLIT text AT '>' INTO TABLE sptab.

LOOP AT sptab.
  CHECK sptab-line(1) <> '<'.
  REPLACE '</' WITH space INTO sptab-line.
  WRITE sptab.
ENDLOOP.
