Split string question - split at non-numeric character

Former Member — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 00:56:30 GMT

I have a string that is in the form of ##R# (# = any number from 0-9 and the quantity of numbers is dynamic). How can I split the string at the first non-numeric character? Below is an example:

String = 12R3

I need var1 = '12' and var2 = 'R3'.

Regards,

Davis

I know, not the most elegant solution, but a solution non-the-less.



REPORT  rich_0001.


DATA: lv_str TYPE string VALUE '123456R987654321'.
DATA: lv_var1 TYPE string.
DATA: lv_var2 TYPE string.
DATA: lv_counter TYPE i.
data: lv_offset type i.
data: lv_len type i.


DO.
  IF lv_str+lv_counter(1) NA '0123456789'.
      lv_offset = lv_counter.
    exit.
  ENDIF.
  lv_counter = lv_counter + 1.
ENDDO.

lv_var1 = lv_str(lv_offset).
lv_len = strlen( lv_str ).
lv_offset = lv_offset + 1.  " Skip over the non-numeric
lv_var2 = lv_str+lv_offset.

write:/ lv_var1.
write:/ lv_var2.

Check this code.


PARAMETERS : p_c(10) TYPE c.
DATA : l_pos TYPE i.
DATA : l_pos1 TYPE i.
DATA : p_c1(10) TYPE c.
DATA : p_c2(10) TYPE c.

IF p_c CA sy-abcde.
  l_pos = sy-fdpos.
  l_pos1 = l_pos + 1.
ENDIF.

WRITE : p_c+0(l_pos).
WRITE : p_c+l_pos1.

Rich,

Thanks a lot for that piece of code! I was hoping that I could do something like:

split string at (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) into var

but I guess that isn't possible.

Thanks again,

Davis
