What is the ABAP code to find characters of a string after the forward slash(/) ?

For eg : USER/SAP/ABC.CSV

How to retrive ABC.CSV which is after /.

Hello Saikanth,

you can use FM SO_SPLIT_FILE_AND_PATH.

But this FM works with \ only so first you can replace / with \ in string using REPLACE ALL

then that FM.

Please first search for related post before posting, very basic question.

v_str = 'USER/SAP/ABC.CSV'.

split v_str AT '\' into table it_result.

loop at it_result into wa_result.

if wa_result CS '.'.

v_mystr = wa_result.

endif.

Hi Saikanth,

DATA: str1 TYPE string,

str2 TYPE string,

str3 TYPE string,

itab TYPE TABLE OF string,

text TYPE string.

text = 'USER/SAP/ABC.CSV'.

SPLIT text AT '/' INTO: str1 str2 str3,

TABLE itab.

Pavan

Hi Saikanth,

1.Use FM PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME

2. By giving the full path to the FM,

we get

a) file name (only file name)

b) also we can get the extension separately in other parameter

Hi Saikanth,

Use this FM: SPLIT_FILENAME

This FM takes care of both the '\' and '/'.

SAP has provided most of these utility functionalities our of box, so reuse those rather than doing string operation on your own.

HI Sai,

Use the Following Code:

DATA : G_FILE TYPE STRING,

G_EXTENSION TYPE STRING,
G_FILE_EXT TYPE CHAR255.

CALL FUNCTION 'CH_SPLIT_FILENAME'
      EXPORTING
        complete_filename = g_file " Your File Name
      IMPORTING
        extension         = g_extension
        name_with_ext     = g_file_ext
      EXCEPTIONS
        invalid_drive     = 1
        invalid_path      = 2
        OTHERS            = 3.

Thanks And Regards
