Uploading and reading text files with delimeters in ABAP.

144 Views

Is there a way to read a text file with delimeters like commas or tabs? The file was uploaded in excel and I was able to convert it to a fixed-long file (ms-dos text) using some string formulas for filling trailing spaces and zeros but this is very time consuming effort.

I have the option in Excel to convert it to a text file with delimeters with a single click but then how do I manage that on an abap program? I also heard that abap can handle excel files (.XLS) without conversion is that possible?

Any help will be appreciated...

PS: Is there any substitue for the obsolete 'WS_UPLOAD' function???
