Inserting a Character in between a String

Former Member — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 14:35:17 GMT

Dear All.

I have a string of around 60-80 characters and its length depends at run time. Now I would like to insert a character value between the 3rd and the 4th character of the string.

E.g : Str1 = '020BUPATEXAS...'

Now I would like to insert a value 'E' between a 3rd charactre and 4th character as below:

Str1 = '020EBUPATEXAS....'

Can anyone throw some light on this.

Regards, Vinay

Hi,

You need a new variable, and then fill this piece by piece.


move: str1(3) to new_text(3),
      'E'      to new_text+3(1),
      str1+3 to new_text+4.

Regards,

Nick

Hi,

Try this

REPORT  ZTEST_CHA.


data : V_char type string,
       v_len type i.

v_char = '020string'.

V_len = strlen( v_char ).

v_len = v_len - 3.

concatenate v_char+0(3) 'E' v_char+3(v_len) into v_char.

write : v_char.

Hi,

Another solution witout new variable:


  DATA:
    str1                          TYPE           string
                                  VALUE          '020BUPATEXASxxxxxxx'.

  CONCATENATE str1(3) 'E' str1+3 INTO str1.

Regards,

Daniel

the new statement propose now

result = str1+0(3) && 'E' && str1+3.

or better

result = |{ str1+0(3)} E {str1+3}|
