Read data between two characters

Former Member — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 05:04:31 GMT

Hello Experts,

I have the data as follows:

"943/2764//00101/1000/11111/////121/3405\"

The above data is stored in a structure ITAB.

I want to get the characters between the last "/" (forward slash) and the "\" (back slash), that is the value 3405.

Could you let me know how to go about it? Points to be awarded for sure. Thanks

Hi,

You can do it by do end endo

finally read the string only the required portin

hi Prasad

Assumptions: 3405 will be always 4 characters...

lv_total = strln (itab-field).

lv_buff = lv_total - 5.

lv_final = itab-field+lv_buff(4).

Hi,

Try as follows:

data: begin of itab,

text(20) type c,

end of itab.

str = '943/2764//00101/1000/11111/////121/3405\'.

SPLIT str AT '/' INTO TABLE itab.

describe itab lines l_f_lines.

read itab index l_f_lines.

len = strlen(itab-text).

len = len - 1.

val = itab-text+0(len).

Write : / val.

Hi Debaprasad,

try this.

DATA : test(200) TYPE c,

len TYPE i,

result(20) TYPE c,

flag_done type c.

test = '943/2764//00101/1000/11111/////121/3405\'.

condense test.

DESCRIBE FIELD test LENGTH len IN CHARACTER MODE.

len = len - 1.

DO.

IF test+len(1) = '\'.

DO.

len = len - 1.

If test+len(1) = '/'.

flag_done = 'X'.

exit.

endif.

IF result IS INITIAL.

result = test+len(1).

ELSE.

CONCATENATE test+len(1)

result

INTO result.

condense result.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

ENDIF.

if flag_done = 'X'.

exit.

endif.

len = len - 1.

ENDDO.

write result.

Regards,
