Former Member — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 11:38:35 GMT

Hello,

I need to build a function that replace the character "," by the string " ',' "

Example: Char1: 1,2,3

Char1 after conversion: 1','2','3

I m using the code:

DATA text TYPE string VALUE '1,2,3,4'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX ',' IN text WITH __?____.

I don´t know how to use the "escape character" so as to I can use the charater " ' " after of with.

Can someone help me ??

Thanks

Hi,

REPLACE all occurances of space IN your_string WITH 'Your_character' INTO lv_date

example code

data: string(10) type c,

string = '1212121212'.

translate string using '20'.

So in this case the value will now be '1010101010'

It happens the next syntax error:

"." expected after '" ,"'.

data: replacetext type string .

replacetext = `','`  .
replace all occurrences of ',' in  <sourcevar> with replacetext .

please pay attendtion to

`','`

the sorround quote is actually the key (in your keyboard) to the left of number 1 .

Hi,

check this out

data: char(10) type c,

char1(10) type c.

data: len TYPE I.

char = 'a,b'.

replace ',' with <b>''','''</b> into char.

write char.
