variable offset

Former Member — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 11:26:36 GMT

Hi,

I have a variable X = '>HARI<'

search itab_filein-record for c_left_bracket.

l_length = sy-fdpos.

move itab_filein-record(l_length) to samp.

Now samp contains '>HARI' since sy-fdpos returns 5.

How to avoid first character in this case. The samp should be only HARI

Regards,

Ratna

try this out -

data l_data(10) .

data a type i.

data len type i.

l_data = '>HARI<'.

search l_data for '<'.

a = sy-fdpos.

replace '>' with '' into l_data.

write: l_data(a).

data : len type i,

pos type i,

vchar(1),

string2(20).

compute len = strlen( str1 ).

do len times.

vchar = str1+pos(1).

if vchar ne '<' or vchar ne '>'.

concatenate str2 vchar into str2.

endif.

pos = pos + 1.

enddo.

now str2 contains the required thing

Hi,

Once you get '>HARI' into samp,

replace '>' with '' into samp.

Hi ratna,

PARAMETER : str1(20) .

DATA : v2(20),

d TYPE i,

e TYPE i,

f type i.

DATA : check1(26) VALUE 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',

check2(26) VALUE 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.

d = 0.

e = 0.

*str1 = '>HARI<'.

f = strlen( str1 ).

WHILE d NE f.

IF str1d(1) CA check1 OR str1d(1) CA check2.

v2e(1) = str1d(1).

d = d + 1.

e = e + 1.

ELSE.

d = d + 1.

continue.

ENDIF.

ENDWHILE.

write : / v2.

Check the output with input >HARI<

parameters : val(10)  type c.
data : final(10) type c,
       cnt type i,
       v type c,
       n type i.

cnt = strlen( val ).
do cnt times.
move val+n(1) to v.
if v ca '<>0123456789'.  "---->increase ur criteria with '*,.:" and so on
else.
move v to final+n(1).
endif.
n = n + 1.
enddo.

condense final no-gaps.
start-of-selection.
write:/ final.

hi Ratna,

this is probabaly the easiest way:

If the bracket is allways in first position you can simply add a startposition in the move statemnet (+1). do:

<i>move itab_filein-record<b>+1</b>(l_length) to samp.</i>

When you have to dynamically determine the startposition of the substring to be copied look at this example:


data: str_a(10) value 'joris bots',     "source string
      str_b(10), "destination string
      i type integer,  " start position of copy
                            " strlen type integer. strlength to be copied

i := 1.          " determine startposition
strlen = 10.  " determine length of string
strlen = strlen - i. " correct length with startposition 
                          "  (not needed if strlen does not exceed total length.

move str_a+i(strlen) to str_b.    " no do the final move starting at position i, 
                                              " never exceeding the length of the source string
                                              " no dumps or syntax errors etc

this example should produce:

str_b = 'oris bots'

Hope it helps!

Good luck
