Reading Standard Texts

Former Member — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 09:37:49 GMT

Hi all,

I am using the FM READ_TEXT to read the standard text, but it also reads the tags Character formats alongwith the text as

<B1> Header Text </>

Is there any FM which can be used to read the text without the formats <B1>..</>,

<RX> ...</> etc.

Else how to achieve it?

Apreciate your ideas.

Regards,

Stock

Hi,

Change the editor(without having lines) while maintaining the standard text, you will not face this problem.

If you are not able to change it now then offset the text ex: text+1(100)

Hi Satish,

I am using the FM Read_Text in a report toi read the contents of the standard text.So changing it to line editor does nt help and read the formats as well.

Any other way?

Stock,

Then after reading the text, before populating to the final internal table elimate first character by doing offset ex: tdline+1(100).

Hope your prob will get resolved.

oh well you could od some string operations to eliminate those character formats by hand line by line out of your text.

useful Statements: FIND, SEARCH.

find '<' in lv_tdline.

this will set sy-fdpos. in sy-fdpos you will find the number of characters from the left in which you '<' was found.

the rest is just a little brainwork and offset handling
