Splitting a string

Former Member — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 05:40:57 GMT

Hi,

I want to split a large string into smaller equal-length strings and store these in an internal table.

Is there a keyword available for this? I know about SPLIT, however, this uses a character delimiter. I need to delimit the selection using an integer value.

Please do let me know.

Thanks,

Biju

Biju,

How about SEARCH? You will have to use it within a LOOP construct. Can you provide more info on the integer value as the delimiter?

Thanks,

Chaps.

DATA: string10(60) TYPE c ,
      p1(20) TYPE c VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',
      p2(20) TYPE c VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',
      p3(20) TYPE c VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',
      p4(20) TYPE c VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',
      del10(3) TYPE c VALUE '***'.
string10 = ' Part 1 *** Part 2 *** Part 3 *** Part 4 *** Part 5'.
WRITE string10.
<b>SPLIT string10 AT del10 INTO p1 p2 p3 p4.</b>
WRITE / p1.
WRITE / p2.
WRITE / p3.
WRITE / p4.

SKIP.
ULINE.

Try this one.

hi,

try with this

data : l_char(200) type c,

l_char1(20) type c,

l_char2(20) type c,

l_char3(20) type c,

l_char1 = l_char+0(20)

l_char2 = l_char+20(20)

l_char3 = l_char+40(20)

or data l_val type i value 10.

l_char1 = l_char+l_val(20).

like that

cheers,

sasi

Hi Sasi,

Thanks, this works. But I was also hoping for some keyword that could do the same.

All the same ... thank you for the hint.

Biju

Hi,

Store the delimiter in a char variable and then you can use SPLIT.

Hi. Biju.

Another keyword is nothing, But another way...

data : begin of it_input occurs 0,

text(200) type c,

end of it_input.

data : begon of it_split occurs 0,

c1(20) type c,

c2(20) type c,

c3(20) type c,

end of it_split.

data : l_index like sy-tabix,

l_offset type i,

l_length type i.

data : w_c1(20) type c.

field-symbols <fs> type any.

clear : l_index, l_offset, l_length.

l_length = 20.

Loop at it_input.

clear : l_offset, it_split.

Do 3 times.

w_c1 = it_input-text+l_offset(l_length).

IF NOT w_c1 is initial.

add 1 to l_index.

ASSIGN COMPONENT l_index OF STRUCTURE it_split TO <fs>.

MOVE w_c1 TO <fs>.

ENDIF.

l_offset = l_offset + l_length.

enddo.

APPEND it_split.

Endloop.

I hope you help.
