Hi,

FCT... i don't know.

data: str(100) type c.
data: str_n type string.
data: str_c type string.
data: len type i.
data: ofst type i.
 
str = '#ABCD%'.
len = strlen( str ).
 
 
 
do.
 
  if ofst = len.
    exit.
  endif.
 
  if str+ofst(1) co sy-abcde.
    concatenate str_c str+ofst(1) into str_c.
  else.
    concatenate str_n str+ofst(1) into str_n.
  endif.
 
  ofst = ofst + 1.
 
enddo.
 
write:/ str.
write:/ str_c.
write:/ 'spacial chracter',20 str_n.

good

i dont think the function module can help you to find out any special character in a string, for that you have to write the logic,

try this

get the length of the string,

check each and every character using loop and store in a new character variable .

Hi,

store all special characters in internal table

loop at itab.

if string ca itab-char.

write 'special characters'.

endif.

endloop.

hi jaysree ,

we have answered this query in one of ur posts ..

in that code just include all the special charaters in to a single string and compare .

data : spchar(40) type c value '~!@#$$%^&()?...'etc.

data :gv_char .

data:inp(20) type c.

take the string length .

len = strlen (i/p).

do len times

MOVE FNAME+T(1) TO GV_CHAR.

IF gv_char CA spchar.

MOVE fnameT(1) TO inp2T(1).

ENDIF.

T = T + 1.

enddo.

regards,

Vijay

U can check this ..

REPORT ZEX4 .

PARAMETERS: fname LIKE rlgrap-filename .

DATA: len TYPE i,

T TYPE I VALUE 0,

inp(20) TYPE C,

inp1(20) type c,

inp2(20) type c,

inp3(20) type c.

DATA :gv_char.

data : spchar(20) type c value '#$%^&*()_+`~'.

START-OF-SELECTION.

CONDENSE fname.

len = strlen( fname ).

WRITE:/ len.

DO len TIMES.

MOVE FNAME+T(1) TO GV_CHAR.

IF gv_char ca spchar.

MOVE fnameT(1) TO inpT(1).

ENDIF.

T = T + 1.

ENDDO.

CONDENSE INP.

write:/ 'Special Characters :', inp.

Hi,

You can use SEARCH statement

SEARCH dobj FOR pattern

This statement searches the data object dobj according to the search pattern specified in pattern.
