Hi Thomas,

tp_output = 'AaAaBbBb'.

REPLACE 'a' WITH space INTO tp_output.

Your output will look like 'A A BbBb'.

Then you finally condense it to remove spaces.

CONDENSE tp_output.

And it will look like your desired result 'AABbBb'

Hope it helps you

Thanks

Hi,

Check the code below:

v_string = 'AaAaBbBb' .

if v_string ca 'a'

replace 'a' with ' ' into v_string.

condense v_string with no-gaps.

endif.
