Hi...i have a string in the following form and need to addd a few characters in middle and shift the rest. Can anybody help.

Input should be

A^abcbcde^fghi^^500.

Output A^abcbcde^fghi ^^500. Note the space after the 4th ^ sign.

I need to traverse through the string and insert space, shift the rest of the sentence by one character. Converting this into itab n concatenating will not work..

Converting this into itab n concatenating will not work..

if you know the point at which you want to add a space (for example after every . (period)) the you can split it at . into itab and then concatenate them with space.

to add a space you can use

` `

I have tried that thanks...i m looking for another logic as we write in c programs, taking the string as a character array, accessing each position, only thing that i dont know how to write tht using abap.!!

Please do it in this way

DATA:

l_str TYPE string,

l_str1 TYPE string,

l_str2 TYPE string,

l_str3 TYPE string.

l_str = 'A^abcbcde^fghi^^500'.

l_str1 = l_str(16).

l_str2 = l_str+16(5).

CONCATENATE l_str1 l_str2 INTO l_str3 SEPARATED BY space.

WRITE: / l_str3.

Try this code:

REPORT zdemo LINE-SIZE 40 LINE-COUNT 10(4) no standard page

heading.

data len type i.

parameter : text type char100 lower case.

start-of-selection.

len = strlen( text ).

Say u want to insert a space after 16th position.

concatenate text0(16) text16(len) into text in character mode

separated by space.

write: text.

Joy.

Hi,

You can check following piece of code

DATA: str1 TYPE string,

str2 TYPE string,

itab TYPE TABLE OF string,

text TYPE string,

v_len type i.

text = `A^abcbcde^fghi^^500`.

SPLIT text AT '^' INTO: TABLE itab.

describe table itab lines v_len.

loop at itab into str1.

if sy-tabix = v_len.

concatenate str2 str1 into str2.

elseif sy-tabix <> 5.

concatenate str1 '^' into str1.

concatenate str2 str1 into str2.

else.

concatenate str1 ' ^' into str1.

concatenate str2 str1 into str2.

endif.

endloop.

write: / text.

write: / str2.

you mean each char in the string as record in the itab if yes try this


data: string_tab type standard table of char01 ,
      input_string type string ,
      tlen type i .


      tlen = 1 .
      input_string = `this is for testing the string split function .` .

      CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_STRING_TO_TABLE'
        EXPORTING
          i_string               = input_string
          i_tabline_length       = tlen
        TABLES
          et_table               = string_tab .
