Hi,

Is the format of text going to be same as you have mentioned in your example??

[Former Member]

Yes Every time

Try this.

lv_str = 'hithisistest_EN.Doc'

split lv_str at '_' into lv_str1 lv_str2.

split lv_str2 at '.' into lv_str1 lv_str2.

lv_str1 will contain 'EN'

Check it in T002 table.

every time EN is not fixed but there should be any two character of language in SAP

As long as your text contains  '_' and '.' above code will work fine.

You can test it by replacing text with any value. Variable lv_str1 will contain text that follows '_' and precedes '.'.

Sometimes you just have to roll up your sleeves and write code.

DATA: lo_matcher TYPE REF TO cl_abap_matcher,
       ls_result  TYPE match_result,
       lv_lang    TYPE sy-langu.

 lo_matcher = cl_abap_matcher=>create(
   pattern = '\_([A-Z]{2})\.'
   text    = 'hithisistest_EN.Doc' ).

 lo_matcher->find_next( ).
 lv_lang = lo_matcher->get_submatch( 1 ).

 WRITE lv_lang.

To complement the table with languages is the T002 but if you wanna know only languages installed (Founded in transaction SMLT), so you need check the T002C table and looking up rows with X value on LAINST field.
