Replace all occurences

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I have a problem with this statement..

I just give the code: REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '##' IN l_comment WITH ' '.

when l_comment value is testing##replace, after reach this command, the result should be testing replace, but after i debugged it the result become testingreplace. Is there any symbol for the ' ', except space.. when i use space in the command.. the result still has no space. Thanks..

are you sure there is no additonal CONDENSE statement which you may have overseen?

[Former Member]

No condense for the statement replace occurences.. and i need space, not to omitted the space.

Hi,

Try this

Constants: lv_new_line type c value 'CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF lv_new_line IN l_comment WITH space.

Cannot do that, the data consists of ##.. so u must replace the ## with space.. The result still the same, no space between two words.

well normally i´d say the replace commanbd got to work, but this wont help you.

what about doing the thing by hand?

search your_string for '##'.

then the position of ## is beeing stored in sy-fdpos.

you can now split the string into two strings.

lv_fdpos = sy-fdpos + 2.

lv_string1 = your_string(sy-fdpos).

lv_string2 = your_string+lv_fdpos.

and now :

concatenate lv_string1 lv_string2 into your_string separated by space.

Hi,

'##' Represents New Line only. So, better Split the data and move to an internal table.

SPLIT text AT CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE INTO TABLE itab.

If it doesn't work, try these also cl_abap_char_utilites=>cr_lf & cl_abap_char_utilities=>linefeed.

Thank you for ur reply.. put it into internal table.. but doesnt it will time consuming? i already loop the internal table.. the comment is just part of the internal table itself, so by putting into internal table, do u say i must loop the internal table again. And what is the type for the internal table?

[Former Member]

do.

REPLACE '##' WITH new INTO lv_c.

FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF '##' IN lv_c.

IF sy-subrc IS NOT INITIAL.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

enddo.

U can use

TRANSLATE / REPLACE commands

The Data can be Hello##World##Many##obstacle..

U cannot use just replace or translate. Thats why i'm using replace all occurences, but the problem is, after replace the '##' with space, the word doesnt have space between them.

Hi,

If so do split it to an itab and concatenate:

like:

DATA:

itab TYPE TABLE OF string,

text TYPE string.

text = `What#a#drag##t is getting old`.

SPLIT text AT '##' INTO TABLE itab.

Hi,

You cannot replace entries with SPACE.

Instead try like:

split l_comment at '##' into str1 str2.

clear l_comment.

concatenate str1 str2 into l_comment separated by SPACE.

Hope this will solve ur problem.
