Text within single quotes

[Former Member]

Hello Everybody,

I have a requirement wherein i need to take out text which exists within single quotes.

For eg:

string1 = Hi ' I am within single quotes' .

here i need to take the text which is inside single quotes aside.

Kindly provide me a solution.

Thanks and Regards

try this

data : text(40).

concatenate 'Hi'  '''I am within single quotes'''  into text separated by space.

Use SPLIT.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ITAB_TYPE,

WORD(20),

END OF ITAB_TYPE.

DATA: ITAB TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ITAB_TYPE WITH

NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 5.

SPLIT 'Hi '' I am within single quotes''' AT '''' INTO TABLE ITAB.

So you will have the entire string in the second record of the table.

Note that working with single quotes in ABAP makes you use twice single quotes, in order to avoid ending the string.

sorry for half answer.

data : text(40).
data : textsp(40).
data : text1(15),text2(15),text3(15).
data : spaces(2) value '  '.
concatenate 'Hi'  '''I am within single quotes'''  into text separated by space.
split text at '''' into text1 text2 text3.
write : / text2.

Hi Angel,

Just tried wht the same...

got an error saying 'Literals that take up more than one line not permitted.'.

I am working on ECC 6.0.

The actual requirement is

A field of an internal table wud be having an ABAP report line.

for eg

wg_report-line = AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'V_VBAK_ATT'

(NOTE: This wont be within Quotes while processing )

I need to take the value of the object out.

Thanks and Regards

again sorry just declare

data : text2(25).

because previously it was 15 so it is taking part of the string.

hi MAnish,

Please try the following logic:

data string1(100).
data lv_string(100).
string1 = 'Hi ''I am within single quotes'''. 
search string1 for ''''.
lv_string = string1+sy-fdpos.
lv_string = lv_string+1.
search lv_string for ''''.
lv_string = lv_string+0(sy-fdpos).

write:/ lv_string.

Hope this helps,

Sajan Joseph.
