String

[Former Member]

Hi all,

i have 2 strings one with 15 characters(string1) and the other one can have up to 15 characters(string2).

Im trying to figure out how i can check if string2 contains the letters of string1 and as soon as it finds a letter that does not match it sends an error.

However, the characters in the string2 can be in different order.

Thanks in advance!

Couple different ways to do this. Here is one solution.

report zrich_0003.

data: string1 type string.
data: string2 type string.
data: offset type i.
data: length type i.

string1 = 'ABCDEFGHI'.
string2 = 'IHGFXEDCBA'.


length = strlen( string2 ).

while sy-subrc  = 0.

  if  offset => length.
    exit.
  endif.

  search string1 for string2+offset(1).
  if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message e001(00) with 'Value not found in string1'.
  endif.

  offset = offset + 1.

endwhile.
