How to remove '#' (hash) from text line in print output ?

[vinayad]

Hi all,

Any help would be appreciated !

When I tried to print the order, I am getting # (hashes) at last in the text line.

Please help me, how to remove this.

I tried this code, but did not work.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' in wa_text_line WITH ' '.

Hello,

'#' in the printout can be any character that does not fit into the used codepage. I guess that's why your replace does not work. It's not a #, it's some 'non printable' character. Try to find out what exactly it is in a debug session.

Thanks for your response !

that character is cr_lf.

Hello,

ah, ok. A print out of a string does not consider cr_lf. I think for printing it with cr_lf you have to split the string.

REPORT z_test_crlf.
data: teststr type string,
      testTable type standard table of string.
concatenate 'Line 1' cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf 'Line 2'
    cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf 'Line 3' into teststr.
write:/ 'Despite of cr_lf, the printout is in one line:', teststr.
split teststr at cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf into table testTable.
write:/ 'This works:'.
loop at testTable assigning field-symbol(<line>).
  write:/ <line>.
endloop.

So you didn't use anu of the solutions proposed in your previous question?

Which tool do you use to print the long text?

Thanks for your response.

I have modified the code, it was working fine

CONCATENATE wa_text-text v_crlf INTO i_order_text-text_line.

but now in the print output it is displaying # (i.e., cr_lf)

In SAPScript

Hi All,

While working in ABAP, especially when preparing data for file downloads or exporting internal tables, you might notice that some lines seem to end with a " # " symbol. But here's the catch  that " # " is not always a real hash symbol. Naturally, you might think it’s a hashtag — but often, it’s not. These characters don’t display visually, but depending on how the file is opened or downloaded, they may appear as strange or misleading symbols.

Check out my post for a detailed explanation of How to Remove Hashtag (#) Using ABAP – It’s Not Always a Hashtag! 

I hope this helps! Let me know your thoughts or if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Use this FM - 'CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT', it eliminates the unwanted special character if it is present especially when you have used cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf in your program.

Thank you Sandra Rossi

Would be nice to know how you read the text

the end of line char should be CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF

frdric.girod Thanks for you response.

Yes, I have concatenated CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF to the text
