Hi,

Are there any field separators or delimiters used in ur fields .If so,you can split and then extract the desired text from ur field.

split field1 at <delimiter> into text1 text2 text3

Alternatively by knowing string length and using offset value you can be able to get the texts from the fields.

Hi

If you know the length of the text, then its easy. Suppose the length of the last text is 10 char. Then following things to be done.

Data: l_n type i.

l_n = strlen (field1) - 10.

last text = field1+l_n(10).

Please check if this works.

Thanks

Hello

If '|' is delimiter then:

data: begin of itab,
      text(20),
      end of itab.
data: n type i.
split field1 at '|' into table itab.
describe table itab lines n.
read table itab index n.
write itab-text.

... etc for field2, field 3 .....

[kesavadas_thekkillath]

if there is a seperator the go for this

  data:input type string.
  data:itab type table of char10.
  data:wa like line of itab.
  input = 'text1|text2|text3'.
  split input at '|' into TABLE itab.
  sort itab DESCENDING.
  read table itab index 1 INTO wa.
  write wa.

So, what is your problem? To get the last text or to get the third text?

Hello Rachel,

A small variation of Keshu's solution:

DATA:
ITAB TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING,
V_OUTPUT TYPE STRING,
V_LINES TYPE I.

SPLIT V_INPUT AT '|' INTO TABLE ITAB.

V_LINES = LINES( ITAB ).

READ TABLE ITAB INTO V_OUTPUT INDEX V_LINES.

Hi, <li>Try this way.

report ztest.
data:field type string VALUE 'text1|text2|text3|text4|text5'.
DATA:last_field type string.
DATA:it_data type TABLE OF string.
DATA:wa_data LIKE LINE OF it_Data.

SPLIT field at '|' INTO TABLE it_data.
DESCRIBE TABLE it_data LINES sy-tfill.
READ TABLE it_data INTO wa_data INDEX sy-tfill.
last_field = wa_data.
WRITE last_field.

Thanks Venkat.O

Hi,

You have:-

field1 = text1|text2|text3.

field2 = text1|text2|text3|text4.

field3 = text1|text2|text3|text4|text5.

Refer:-

DATA : v_lines TYPE i.
DATA : itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF string.
DATA : wa LIKE LINE OF itab.

SPLIT field1 AT '|' INTO TABLE itab.

DESCRIBE TABLE itab
LINES v_lines.

"read last text
READ TABLE itab INTO wa INDEX v_lines.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
  "now you have the last text in work area
ENDIF.

Similarly you can use field2 and field3 to get the last text.

Hope this helps you.
