Extraction of a particular string from a line of text

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can anyone help me in fetching the required string from a line of text which is coming from an internal table.

For Eg: Form routines for view cluster maint. (EI_DD_026)

In the above sentence i need to extract only EI_DD_026.

Let's take another example.

Eg: The link DS_FS_023_MN is available in (Repository).

In the above senetence i need to extract only DS_FS_023_MN.

Only the Hint I have is that text will have DD / FF format.

I tried using Split ,CP but did not get desired results due to Dynamic changes in the text .

Thanks in Advance.

Regards

From the examples you gave, it looks like you might have a underscore in all your required string. Why dont you try splitting and looking for underscore?

Will this kind of work around help?

TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_DATA,
       TEXT  TYPE CHAR200,
       END   OF TY_DATA.

DATA: IT_DATA TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_DATA,
      IT_SPLIT TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_DATA.


DATA: LA_DATA TYPE TY_DATA,
      LA_SPLIT TYPE TY_DATA.

LA_DATA-TEXT = 'Form routines for view cluster maint. (EI_DD_026)'.
APPEND LA_DATA TO IT_DATA.
CLEAR LA_DATA.


LA_DATA-TEXT = 'The link DS_FS_023_MN is available in (Repository).'.
APPEND LA_DATA TO IT_DATA.
CLEAR LA_DATA.

LOOP AT IT_DATA INTO LA_DATA.
  SPLIT LA_DATA AT SPACE INTO TABLE IT_SPLIT.
  LOOP AT IT_SPLIT INTO LA_SPLIT.
    REPLACE '(' IN LA_SPLIT-TEXT WITH ' '.
    CONDENSE LA_SPLIT-TEXT.
    REPLACE ')' IN LA_SPLIT-TEXT WITH ' '.
    CONDENSE LA_SPLIT-TEXT.

    IF LA_SPLIT-TEXT+2(1) = '_'.
      WRITE: / LA_SPLIT-TEXT.
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.
