ABAP Substring?

Former Member — Mon, 16 May 2005 19:53:07 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking for a substring command in ABAP.

I have a string like this...

text = 'hello, how are you today'.

Here's my goal...

I want to separate my string at the 10th character into two strings (text1 and text2).

so the result would be

text1 has the value 'hello, how'

text2 has the value ' are you today'

of course, the characters in the string 'text' will vary.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Audrey

Check out the following logic.



report zrich_0001 .


data: x(100) type c,
      y(100) type c,
      z(100) type c.

x = 'Hello, how are you doing?'.


y = x+0(10).
z = x+10(90).


write:/ y.
write:/ z.

Regards,

Hi Audrey

You can use offset and length additions.

DATA lv_str TYPE string .

lv_str = 'hello, how are you today' .
write:/ lv_str+7 ,
      / lv_str+7(3) ,
      / lv_str(7) .

The output should be:

how are you today
how
hello,

Regards

Ho Audrey,

or try this:

DATA text(80).
DATA: BEGIN OF tx,
text1(10),
text2(70),
END OF tx.

text = 'hello, how are you today'.
WRITE : / text.
ULINE.
MOVE text TO tx.
WRITE: / tx-text1.
WRITE: / tx-text2.

regards Andreas

Use Function module 'STRING_SPLIT_AT_POSITION'
