How to find the first position of number

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

How do you find the position of first occurrence number in a string?

string = 'abcde782ss'.

Thanks

Sam Indra Try below REGEX, moff will return as 5, which means number starts from 6 and mlen will return as 3 as there are 3 continuous numbers.

DATA: moff TYPE i,
      mlen TYPE i.

FIND REGEX '([0-9]+)' IN 'abcde782ss'
     MATCH OFFSET moff
     MATCH LENGTH mlen.

Hi,

This should work.

DATA text TYPE string.
text = 'YTD<J KHGYGJNKLJKKN777GLHGKLB'.
IF text CA '1234567890'.
  write:/ sy-fdpos.
ENDIF.

Or even:

ASSERT 4 = find_any_of( val = `wwxx7yy` sub = `0123456789` ).

(see ABAP documentation of find* search functions)
