Need help on a REGEX expression

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus.

I need to make a REGEX to find such a pattern:

<L or G>TY_<S or T_*.

How can I make a REGEX for it? If it is not clear, what i mean is first letter can be L or G, after that will be TY_, then followed by a single character S or T, followed by an underscore (_) and then anything after that is okay.

All are case insensitive.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in adv.

You can try it

Hi Aishi Sharma,

It is little bit complex to frame a single Regular expression, However you can use the following:

You can use the below 4 Regular expressions one after the other.

1. LTY_S_

2. GTY_S_

3. LTY_T_

4. GTY_T_

You know how to use it once,the similar way use the 4 expressions one after the other and store the result in an internal table.

So you will get the solution.

Hope this helps you.

To test the regex for your text.. you can use the prog DEMO_REGEX_TOY and use green tick to execute the matches,

[Regular Expressions for Information Processing|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/866072ca-0b01-0010-54b1-9c02a45ba8aa?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]

Hi,

I am not sure about it, because I have not try it, but it could be like this:

[LG]TY_[ST][[:alnum:]]*

Check [Syntax of Regular Expressions|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENREGEX_SYNTAX.htm] for further info.

Thanks, but i know about these documents.

But still cannot work out this simple REGEX>

What you gave did not work for me

To elaborate, I am using it to set up the Code Inspector Naming conventions, and gave this expression in the Types field.

Does not work

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in adv.

Hi,

so it is much easier than You think:-) "Types field" is a select-option with multiple selection allowed, so You can put here following 4 lines:

GTY_S*

LTY_S*

GTY_T*

LTY_T*

That's all.
