Hi Experts,

In my itab..i have data like this:

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

str type string,

end of itab.

<![CDATA[]]>

</field>

<![CDATA[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. In aliquet. Nulla nisi justo, pulvinar eu, venenatis non, convallis placerat, mi. Cras urna dolor, ultricies at, vestibulum sit amet, auctor at, velit. Donec accumsan malesuada nisl. Donec fringilla pulvinar metus. Duis lorem ligula, tempus quis, ultrices vel, consectetuer non, ipsum. Donec lacinia, enim nec auctor vulputate, nibh turpis sollicitudin dolor, et commodo est libero eget enim. Aenean porttitor tristique orci. Integer velit. Pellentesque orci ipsum, varius sed, suscipit ac, egestas iaculis, tortor. Nam dignissim convallis quam.

Ut fringilla tempus lorem. Suspendisse porta molestie ligula. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Ut eleifend tristique dui. Morbi purus purus, tincidunt ut, pretium ac, pharetra sit amet, felis. Etiam hendrerit ligula quis risus. Praesent aliquet. Vivamus quam ante, posuere eu, faucibus ut, tincidunt non, justo. Sed facilisis sem et metus. Nulla malesuada blandit tellus. Duis vel neque. Pellentesque luctus odio in justo. Pellentesque commodo venenatis neque. Maecenas quis velit vitae dui laoreet vehicula. Praesent molestie nonummy erat. ]]>

if i am correct, i mean you have data (from <FIELD name till </field> ) is in internal table ITAB and you want that data (all records data) to be in a string variable

if so,

DATA : V_STRING TYPE STRING.
   LOOP AT ITAB.
*--
     CONCATENATE V_STRING 
                 ITAB-STR
                 INTO V_STRING SEPARATED BY SPACE.     
   ENDLOOP.

after this, V_STRING will have all the lines of ITAB.

Hi,

data: ws_flag.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

str type string,

end of itab.

data: ws_str(30) value '<field name="longDescription">'.

data: itab1 like itab occurs 0 with header line.

Loop at itab.

if itab-string+0(30) eq ws_str.

ws_flag = 'X'.

continue.

endif.

if ws_flag = 'X'.

itab1-string = itab-string.

replace '<!CDATA[' with '' into itab1-string.

replace '' with '' into itab1-string.

replace '' with '' into itab1-string.

append itab1.

clear itab1.

endif.

endloop.

Hi ravi,

use the search option:

TYPES: BEGIN OF T_TYPE,

LINE(80),

END OF T_TYPE.

DATA: T TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF T_TYPE WITH

NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY,

WA_T TYPE T_TYPE.

MOVE 'Alaska Texas ' TO WA_T.

APPEND WA_T TO T.

MOVE 'California Arizona ' TO WA_T.

APPEND WA_T TO T.

SEARCH T FOR '*ONA'.

In that case the below logic should help.

LOOP AT ITAB.

SEARCH itab-str for 'LongDescription'.

if sy-subrc = 0.

l_offset = sy-fdpos.

l_len = strlen ( itab-str ).

l_len = l_len - l_offset.

write itab-str+l_offset(l_len) to l_var.

endif.

endloop.

l_var would have the string.

Hi ravi,

Thanks for response.But i am not able to get what i wanted.

see the code.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

str type string,

end of itab.

after exicuting if my itab have data like this:

<![CDATA[Deposit]]>

</field>

<![CDATA[]]>

</field>

</field>

<![CDATA[Deposit]]>

</field>

<![CDATA[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. In aliquet. Nulla nisi justo, pulvinar eu, venenatis non, convallis placerat, mi. Cras urna dolor, ultricies at, vestibulum sit amet, auctor at, velit. Donec accumsan malesuada nisl. Donec fringilla pulvinar metus. Duis lorem ligula, tempus quis, ultrices vel, consectetuer non, ipsum. Donec lacinia, enim nec auctor vulputate, nibh turpis sollicitudin dolor, et commodo est libero eget enim. Aenean porttitor tristique orci. Integer velit. Pellentesque orci ipsum, varius sed, suscipit ac, egestas iaculis, tortor. Nam dignissim convallis quam.]]>

</field>

So actually iwant to extract data from (after longDescription)

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer ...to convallis quam..ie just before </field>

How Can we do this?

loop at itab.

if itab-str+1(5) = 'field'.

l_start = sy-tabix.

endif.

if itab-str+2(5) = 'field'.

end_line = sy-tabix.

endif.

search itab-str for 'longDescription'.

if sy-subrc = 0.

start_line = l_start + 1.

endif.

endloop.

loop at itab from start_line to end_line.

concatenate v_str itab-str into v_str separated by space.

endloop.

v_str --- is your string.
