Read a substring

Dear Developers ,

I am new to ABAP.

I need a small help here.

i would like to read the name of the attachment from a particular string.

Using, String manipulation,

I have to read only content inside the name attribute., which test.doc

I used FIND , nevertheless, is there any way in ABAP to search from Start INDEX to END INDEX to read a substring esle, is there any other better way to do it in ABAP.

thanks

Vignesh

Hi Vignesh,

This would be my solution, to split the string at the " character.

Then you recover the data from table using index.

DATA: lt_str TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF string.

l_str_xml = '<xml name="test.doc" displayname="test.doc">'.

SPLIT l_str_xml AT '"' INTO TABLE lt_str.

Hope it helps,

If you want to know more about splitting strings, check the following link:
