String

Dear Friends,

Please help me to resolve the below issue.

Let us assume the following

DATA: source TYPE string,

source = 'This is a /entlittle /ent* sentence.'.

I just wanted to find /ent* in the above string

The function "search" is used for the purpose.

But the problem here is, "the * in the above string is

considered as a wildcard character & not a character".

So the result of sy-subrc after search is 4.

Could anyone resolve this issue.

Regards,

Usha

Hi,

If that is the case,then try this.

DATA: source TYPE string,

s_one type string,

s_two type string.

source = 'This is a /entlittle /ent* sentence.'.

SPLIT source AT '/ent*' INTO s_ONE s_TWO.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

Here you can understand that the string is containing '/ent' without using search

write s_two.

endif.

hi usha,

try that:

IF source CS '/ent*'.
  found = 'X'.
ENDIF.

Jayanthi,

I am using the position of search string in the other part of the code, so split doesn't help in this case.

Hi Usha,

If you need the position, you can use the solution provided by Jayanthi and then something like this :


w_position = strlen( s_ONE ).

Hope this helps,

erwan.

Don't forget the SY-FDPOS to know the offset when the CS had result.

Hi,

As Erwan told you can use strlen .

DATA: source TYPE string,

s_one type string,

s_two type string,

n type i.

source = 'This is a /entlittle /ent* sentence.'.

SPLIT source AT '/ent*' INTO s_ONE s_TWO.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

<b>n = strlen( s_one ).

write n.</b>

endif.

If it doesn't suit your requirement,tell the exact thing you want to achieve from search.

Give your coding part also.

You can try this

DATA : source(50).

source = 'This is a /entlittle /ent* sentence.'.

IF source CS '/ent*'.

WRITE: sy-fdpos.

ENDIF.

sy-fdpos = sy-fdpos + 1.

WRITE:/ source+sy-fdpos(4).
