search var1 for '.#.'.

this will get you the position of the first # in your string in variable sy-fdpos.

now use search var1 for '.#.' starting at sy-fdpos.

Hi Florian,

i tried the below way but actually First '#' is at

7th position but its showing 6th.Then how to get the next '#'.

<code>

REPORT ZTEST_POSITIONFINDER.

data : var1 type string ,

pos type i.

var1 = '210651#WHA-588QV#11/26/2007 10:58#527.02#526.99#526.99#17640207#ALLEN K WITHRAW J#1000#CVGOGG20071118NL02#Approved on link to booking.#'.

search var1 for '#'.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

write : / sy-fdpos.

endif.

</code>

REPORT ZTEST_POSITIONFINDER.

data : var1 type string ,

pos type i,

slen type i.

var1 = '210651#WHA-588QV#11/26/2007 10:58#527.02#526.99#526.99#17640207#ALLEN K WITHRAW J#1000#CVGOGG20071118NL02#Approved on link to booking.#'.

pos = 0.

slen = strlen( var1 ).

do slen times.

if var1+pos(1) = '#'.

pos = pos + 1.

write pos.

else.

pos = pos + 1.

endif.

enddo.

Use the Key word 'SEARCH FOR'.

Hi,

You can use SPLIT command for separating the data.

Ex:

v_char = '210651#WHA-588QV#Test'.

SPLIT v_char AT '#' INTO v1

v2

v3.

Now, v1 will have 210651 and

similarly v2 = WHA-588QV,

v3 = Test

Now using STRLEN command, you can get the length of the individual fields data like

v_count = STRLEN( v1 ).

Then increment v_count by 1 and you will get the position of the '#'.

If you want any more help, get back to me.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

DATA : v_cnt TYPE I,

v_num TYPE I,

v_num1 TYPE I,

v_pos(100).

var1 = '210651#WHA-588QV#11/26/2007 10:58#527.02#526.99#526.99#17640207#ALLEN K WITHRAW J#1000#CVGOGG20071118NL02#Approved on link to booking.#'.

v_cnt = strlen( var1 ).

DO v_cnt TIMES.

v_count = v_count + 1.

IF var1+v_num1(v_count) EQ '#' .

concatenate v_count ',' INTO v_pos.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

Write : v_pos.

Here you can see the # position numbers seperated by coma(,).

Satish,

I forgot to add one more line in my earlier mail.Check now this.

DATA : v_cnt TYPE I,

v_num TYPE I,

v_num1 TYPE I,

v_pos(100).

var1 = '210651#WHA-588QV#11/26/2007 10:58#527.02#526.99#526.99#17640207#ALLEN K WITHRAW J#1000#CVGOGG20071118NL02#Approved on link to booking.#'.

v_cnt = strlen( var1 ).

DO v_cnt TIMES.

v_count = v_count + 1.

IF var1+v_num1(v_count) EQ '#' .

concatenate v_count ',' INTO v_pos.

• v_count = v_count + 1.*

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

Write : v_pos.

Here you can see the # position numbers seperated by coma(,).

REPORT ZTEST_POSITIONFINDER.

data : var1 type string ,

pos type i,

slen type i,

schar type c.

var1 = '210651#WHA-588QV#11/26/2007 10:58#527.02#526.99#526.99#17640207#ALLEN K WITHRAW J#1000#CVGOGG20071118NL02#Approved on link to booking.#'.

do slen times.

schar = var1+pos(1).

if schar eq '#'.

Try this...

DATA : var1 TYPE string,
       w_lines TYPE i.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_table,
       line(200) TYPE c,
       END OF ty_table.

DATA: t_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_table.

var1 = '210651#WHA-588QV#11/26/2007 10:58#527.02#526.99#526.
99#17640207#allen k withraw j#1000#cvgogg20071118nl02#approved on link
to booking.#'.

SPLIT var1 AT '#'
INTO TABLE t_table.

DESCRIBE TABLE t_table LINES w_lines.

WRITE:/ w_lines.

It will give you 11, which is the number of # symbols in your text...
