Splitting string

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a string. Length can vary b/w 0 and 900. I would like to split this string into variables l1,l2,l3,l4. l1,l2,l3,l4 are of length 250. Please tell me how this can be done.

Thanks,

Hi,

Use SPLIT statement as below

SPLIT f AT g INTO TABLE itab.

data : begin of itab occurs 0,

text(250) type c,

end of itab.

SPLIT string1 AT ',' INTO TABLE itab.

loop at itab.

write : / itab-text.

endloop.

each value will be stored as seperate record in the itab.

Hi Prasy,

You can split the string with use of

String+offset(length).

here offset is the starting position and length is no. of characters starting from offset.

For example string is X and other 3 fields are l1, l2, l3.

l1 = X+0(10).

l2 = X+10(12).

l3 = X+22(4)

or

Do Like tHis..

Data: string(28) .

itab-field1 = string+0(10).

itab-field2 = string+10(12).

itab-field3 = string+22(4).

append itab.

clear itab.

Otherwise if any seperaters are there in the string u can do like this...

split string at '/' itab-f1 itab-f2 itab-f3.

Hi,

You can split the string as follows.

*step1: create a required structure

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_split_string,

l1(250) TYPE c,

l2(250) TYPE c,

l3(250) TYPE c,

l4(250) TYPE c,

END OF ty_split_string.

DATA: l_string(900) TYPE c,

ls_split_string TYPE ty_split_string.

*step2: Initialize the string which is to be splitted.

l_string = '101 Mary Jones UK 2000$'.

*step3: work area ls_split_string will now containg the string which is splitted at required positions

ls_split_string = l_string.

write: ls_split_string-l1, ls_split_string-l2, ls_split_string-l3, ls_split_string-l4.

Check the below example:

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_split_string,

l1(25) TYPE c,

l2(25) TYPE c,

l3(25) TYPE c,

l4(25) TYPE c,

END OF ty_split_string.

DATA: l_string(90) TYPE c,

ls_split_string TYPE ty_split_string.

• Initialize the string: for Example:

l_string = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbcccccccccccccccccccccccccddddddddddddddd'.

ls_split_string = l_string.

WRITE /: 'l1:', ls_split_string-l1.

WRITE /: 'l2:', ls_split_string-l2 .

WRITE /: 'l3:', ls_split_string-l3 .

WRITE /: 'l4:', ls_split_string-l4.

Pls do reward if useful.

HI

Check the possible String operations..

• shifting up to a given string

DATA: t2(10) TYPE c VALUE 'abcdefghij',

string2 LIKE t2,

str2(2) TYPE c VALUE 'ef'.

string2 = t2.

WRITE string2.

SHIFT string2 UP TO str2.

WRITE / string2.

string2 = t2.

SHIFT string2 UP TO str2 LEFT.

WRITE / string2.

string2 = t2.

SHIFT string2 UP TO str2 RIGHT.

WRITE / string2.

string2 = t2.

SHIFT string2 UP TO str2 CIRCULAR.

WRITE / string2.

SKIP.

ULINE.

• shifting a string depending on the first or last sign

DATA: t3(14) TYPE c VALUE ' abcdefghij',

string3 LIKE t3,

str3(6) TYPE c VALUE 'ghijkl'.

string3 = t3.

WRITE string3.

SHIFT string3 LEFT DELETING LEADING space.

WRITE / string3.

string3 = t3.

SHIFT string3 RIGHT DELETING TRAILING str3.

WRITE / string3.

SKIP.

ULINE.

Thanks
