SHIFT statement

Former Member — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:31:06 GMT

Hi,

I have a string value like this. /usr/sap/temp/test.txt .

I want the text before the last slash / .

I mean, I want /usr/sap/temp into one variable.

There can be any number of slash / symbols in the main text. But, I need only the text before the last slash /. I think, we have to use SHIFT statement to do this. But, I am not able to get it. Can someone help me on the same. it is quite urgent. Please share your thoughts.

Thanks & Regards,

Paddu.

Hi,

Try this one,It will work

DO.
        FIND '\' IN SECTION OFFSET l_offset OF p_file MATCH OFFSET l_off
                                                      MATCH LENGTH l_length .
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
          l_offset = l_off + l_length .
        ELSE.
          p_file = p_file(l_offset).
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.

in the above code p_file is the file path.
