parse file name from string

[former_member194669]

Hi,

I am using FTP_COMMAND to get list of files from FTP server directory

  call function 'FTP_COMMAND'
    exporting
      handle        = hdl
      command       = 'ls /pub'  " << List of files in FTP dir
      compress      = compress
    tables
      data          = result
    exceptions
      command_error = 1
      tcpip_error   = 2.

I need to check whether file exist in the FTP server directory before i am going to write.

My problem after te FTP_COMMAND i am getting a result as mentioned below. So from this result i need to PARSE the filename separetely. I like to know any function module out there, it will give the filename parsed

ls /pub
200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
150 Here comes the directory listing.
drwxr-xr-x    9 40       20232        4096 May 24  2007 list

Happy to do it. It is an ugly regex and I can probably do better. But it is late and time to go home
