Find and replace with space

[Former Member]

Hello ABAPers,

I need to find the '(' starting on that need to replace it with space until the end of the string.

for example : PACIFIC STAR (HOTEL) , so from '(' omit it , also the hotel word and the last ')'.

How can i do that?

Please help.

Thanks in advance

Use:

REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF

OR

TRANSLATE

Search the forum for examples.

Oops. Ignore above answer. Didnt get your question right.

If it is always at the end of the string you can do something like this:

FIND '(' IN string.

This will give you the position of the the ( in sy-fdpos. then you can use offsets to just get you required string +0(sy-fdpos)

Hi,

Use TRANSLATE

Eg: Translate a with '( ' .

Hi....

Now it is...

> PACIFIC STAR (HOTEL)

You want to change it as...

> PACIFIC STAR

Am i correct?

So...

You want to replace that in runtime or to modify the code?

Can you plz get once again?

Thanks,

data: string(40),

string1(40).

string = 'PACIFIC STAR (HOTEL)'.

split string at '(' into string string1.

write:/ string.

Hi,

for this we can use REPLACE , SPLIT.

DATA: c TYPE string,
      a type string.

c = 'PACIFIC STAR (HOTEL)'.
a = '(HOTEL)'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF a IN c WITH ' '.

write: c.

or.

DATA: l_str1 type string,
      l_str2 type string,
      l_str type string,
      l_replacestr type string.

l_str = 'PACIFIC STAR (HOTEL)'.

l_replacestr = '(HOTEL)'.

split l_str at l_replacestr into l_str1 l_str2.

write: l_str1.

hope this helps.

thanx,

dhanashri.

Hi...

You can use SPLIT statement....

Check this smaple query...

data: n(8), m(8).

n = 'Hi N(RT)'.

SPLIT n at '(' into n m.

write:/ n.

which gives output as

> Hi N

Thanks.

Hi I would reccomend use of below syntax.

Data str1 type string

str1 = 'PACIFIC STAR (HOTEL) '.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF ')' IN str1 WITH ' '.

OR

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF ')' IN str1 WITH space.
