String operation to replace some text

Former Member — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 09:31:25 GMT

I have a string MIDDGBPP##SCHNRK22. I want to replace text MIDDGBPP with some other text.

The problem is that I am not able to find out the length of text in before ## signes.

y_v_str = 'MIDDGBPP##SCHNRK22'.

if y_v_str CS '##'.

y_v_offset = sy-fdpos.

endif.

Above code does not update the sy-fdpos variable. It can not find the ## sign in the y_v_str.

How to get length of the first part before ##?

Please provide code if possible.

Hi,

if you just want to replace the text:

replace all occurrences of 'MIDDGBPP' with 'new text' in lv_string.

grtz,

Koen

try to split the text at ## and then use strlen on the first part

y_v_str = 'MIDDGBPP##SCHNRK22'.

split y_v_str at '##' into v_first v_second.

v_length = strlen( v_first ). " v_length contains the length

Hi Suhas,

U can use -

REPLACE 'MIDDGBPP' IN y_v_str WITH 'XXXX'.

split y_v_str1b at '##' into y_v_first y_v_second.

does not work...

It does not find out the ## signes and y_v_first and y_v_second remains empty.

Hi,

Check the below code...

y_v_str = 'MIDDGBPP##SCHNRK22'.

split y_v_str at '##' into v_str1 v_str2.

v_length = strlen( v_str1 ).

y_v_str(v_length) = '<your own text>'.

Hi try doing like this.

SEARCH y_v_str FOR '##'.

CHECK sy-subrc IS INITIAL.

w_fdpos = sy-fdpos.

MOVE owntext TO y_v_str+0(w_fdpos).

In this case sy-fdpos will be set to 8. So u can replace ur first 8 characters by ur own text

Thanks,

Vinod.
