string extract

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Here is a string:

<field name = "Catalog ID" isUserMetadata="true"><![CDATA[0101]]></field>

I want to extract 0101 from that .

How can we do this?

[Former Member]

<field name = "Catalog ID" isUserMetadata="true"><![CDATA[0101]]></field>

Logic :

1. Split the data using '>' into lv1, lv2, lv3.

2. v2 would have the data '![CDATA[0101]]'

3. split the data v2 using [ into v1 v2 v3.

4. v2(4) is your data.

data: TheString type string.

TheString = YourString.

SEARCH TheString FOR '0101'.

write: / 'Value starts at: ' , sy-fdpos.

Try this..

report zSTRING.

data: zstring type string value
'<field name = "Catalog ID" isUserMetadata="true"><![CDATA[0101'.

data: w_len type i,
w_off type i,
w_var(4).

w_len = strlen( zstring ).

search zstring for '[CDATA[' and mark.
w_off = sy-fdpos + 7.
w_var = zstring+w_off(4).
write:/ w_var.
