Extracting data from data stream.

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I have a data steram like following:

C:\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\XXXXXXXXXXX\123.YYY

C:\XXXX\345.ERCG

I want to extract the alphabates which come after dot i.e

C:\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\XXXXXXXXXXX\123.YYY -> YYY

C:\XXXX\345.ERCG -> ERCG

Regards,

Rajesh.

Hi,

You can split the data at the .(dot) and move charecters after the dot into a variable

and write that variable so that all the charecters after the dot will come

Hi,

You can use SEARCH for "."(DOT) and you will get position from SY-FDPOS and then taking offset to that string you will get alphabates which come after dot.

Hi,

try this .

date str(50) type c.

str = 'C:\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\XXXXXXXXXXX\123.YYY'.

data w_pos type i.

search str for '.' .

if sy-subrc eq 0.

w_pos = sy-fdpos.

endif.

add 1 to w_pos.

write 😕 str+w_pos(5).

Hope this works

Use thsi funtion module..to split the file name and the path...

SO_SPLIT_FILE_AND_PATH

Hi Rajesh ,

You can use string operations like split or search like this

SPLIT STRING AT '.' INTO w_dot w_alpha .

Now if you want only alphabets and no other special characters you can use something like this

if w_alpha ca sy-abcde .

This will give only the alphabets and no other numbers or specila characters are included .

Or you can go with offset like

w_string+0(w_count)

Here search for each character and you can do it incrementing the counter variable .

Hope this helps!

Much Regards ,

Hi Rajesh,

All the above posts will work,

but there may be a problem arising when the path is as follows...

w_path = c:\data.dict\text.txt

for this kind of cases its better to write the code as mentioned below...

data w_length type i.

w_length = strlen( w_path ) - 1.

while w_path+w_lenth(1) <> '.' and w_length > 0.

subtract 1 from w_length.

endwhile.

add 1 to w_length.

w_file_ext = w_path + w_length.

Hope this helps you out.

Hi,

This is Kiran again...

Use this function module definitely you can split the file name and its extension...I worked on my system...its working...

SPLIT_FILENAME

It splits the file name and its extension i.e. c:\temp\hello.txt would return 'hello' & 'txt'

Hi,

this code would help..

data:
w_s1 type string value 'C:\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\XXXXXXXXXXX\123.YYY',
w_s2 type string value '.',
w_s3 type string,
w_s4 type string.

split w_s1 at w_s2 into w_s3 w_s4.
write:/ w_s4.
