How to detect syntactic problem in regular expression, like *%?

[guanqing_long]

Hi,

Is there any method to detect the syntactic problem like this? e.g.. ,a regular expression %, it contais a '%' does not make any sence since '*' is stronger than '%' .

Thanks in advance!

Hello

In ABAP you must to use only '%'. It is equivalent '*' in selection-screen.

HI,

IN ABAP the character fro General Searching is '%'. ABAP considers '*' as a character not as a Searh Replacement.

For Searching Single Field Use '_'.

Hope this will clear.

Reward if useful.

hi '*' is for the multiple characters..

and '%' is for the single character..

if u use this..

'*%' it does make sence..because it is already search for the multi chars again you r looking for single..
