SPLIT for line break on ##

alpaca — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:59:31 GMT

Hi everybody

I tried to create a message for an internal abap ticket system.

The message is entered by an user on a bsp site. The Function module i have to use only takes the message as a table of char200 lines. So i have to put every 200 chars in another line of the table.

The problem is: I can't recognize the line breaks of the HTML. They are in the String from the site as ##. I tried the following: The split statement does not recognize the ## and does not split properly. can anyone please help? help will be rewarded!

while split_while = 'X'.

    clear lwa_text2.
    lwa_text = lv_html.
    replace all occurrences of lwa_text in lv_html with ''.

    "add new lines on '##'
    split lwa_text at '##' into table lt_split in character mode.
    if lt_split is initial.
      loop at lt_split into lwa_text.
        append lwa_text to lt_text.
      endloop.
    else.
      append lwa_text to lt_text.
    endif.


    if lv_html is initial.
      clear split_while.
    endif.
  endwhile.

THANKS a lot !

Best Regards

Try to use the CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF instead of ##.

use:

split lwa_text at CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF into table lt_split in character mode.

instead:

split lwa_text at '##' into table lt_split in character mode.

Joy.

SAP usually uses the # symbol for special characters that it can't interpret. Try having a look in class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES at the attributes. A common one is the Carriage Return / Line Feed characters.

You can use FM "RKD_WORD_WRAP" to split the text

CALL FUNCTION 'RKD_WORD_WRAP'

EXPORTING

textline = wa_final-ldesc

outputlen = 72

TABLES

out_lines = i_outlen

EXCEPTIONS

outputlen_too_large = 1

OTHERS = 2.
