Read substring

[Salil_V]

Hi All,

I would like to read the value XXXXX in the below string

<String1><DbtrAcct><Id><Other><Id>XXXXX</Id><String2>

Is there any string function that i can use to read. BTW, this will be multiple times.

Regards,

Salil

Also one more scenario I have is to read the below string

*DA*4011051562*1391833695**01*121000358*DA*123300030000001705735542**

output 

scenario 1 - read value between *DA* and * = 4011051562

scenario 2 - read value between *DA* and ** = 123300030000001705735542

how do we achieve this.

Use XML transformation (ST, XSLT) and deserialize the result into an ABAP variable (asXML), or possibly use an XPath expression. Search the Web for more information.

You can use find or suitable methods from cl_abap_regex, cl_abap_matcher.
