Regular expression

[Former Member]

Hello Colleagues,

My requirement is every amount field should display two decimal places.

I have an XML file and I have to parse through every tag and do it.

ex:

'<ABB>100.0</ABB>' shud become '<ABB>100.000</ABB>'

Am using the below :

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX '<ABB>(-?\d+)</ABB>' IN lv_result_file_temp

WITH '<ABB>$1.000</ABB>' IGNORING CASE. "#EC STRING_OK

But the above REGEX doesn't work. Please suggest.

Thanks,

Sri

Why are you using a Regex for this? If you want a fixed number of decimal places inside an XML file, then in ABAP I think you need to use a character type field and e.g. fill it using with WRITE ... TO ... DECIMALS ... statement.
