Matching the string Pattern '/SMB*/'

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I want to match the pattern '/SMB/'. I tried using if lv_str CP '/SMB/' . But even-though lv_str variable has a string with same pattern, if condition is not getting executed. Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Vinod.

CP compares the wholle string, maybe you have to look for

'/SMB/' or '/SMB/*'

Try composing a suitable REGular EXpression and use that. See keyword "FIND".

Hi Vinod,

consider the use of REGEX option in FIND/REPLACE command. See the REGEX documentation.

Can you give any example for a string that should but does not match the pattern '/SMB*/' ?

Check the documentation [log_exp - Comparison Operators for Character-Like Data Types|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_702/en/abenlogexp_strings.htm]. This may help.

Thanks and regards
