Split at different dilimiters or spaces of a string

[priya_ramani]

Hi Team,

I have a string(VAKEY) which can have 4 or 5 or 6 words and i want to capture the 4th word from that string.

in the above VAKEY the words are seperated by spaces , it can be seperated by 2 spaces or 3 spaces or 4 spaces.

I want to split the VAKEY into lv_v1 , lv_v2 , lv_v3 etc..

In the above pic I want 4th word 065-0004 from that total VAKEY string.

Note: Sometimes 4th word value may not come also , as you can observe in the first line
can you guide me to do so.

Thanks,

Priya Ramani.

This is specifically a field which you should not SPLIT, but instead you should cast or move to a structure with components of the right number of characters. Tomas has given a link to another discussion which provides example codes.

You can split intto table and delete Space rows and read the row with index 4

Hi @arifarifoglu

SPLIT AT SPACE is not working as it does not have fixed spaces between words.

Ex:
Priya_123 Priya233 Priya432 priya74938

It has string like above , SPLIT AT Space is not working. Because it has more than spaces in between words.

@arifarifoglu Thanks,
I tried this and its spliting into table.

VAKEY is nothing but the primary key of condition table(KVEWE + KOTBNR). In this case the table names are A882 and A881. You have to declare a field symbol with the type of the table name dynamicaly and pass VAKEY to that field symbol and use the field you need. The space is not static.

Also +1 to Tomas who gives a link to other discussion which provides example codes.

KONH-VAKEY content should not be split by spaces!

Here is little bit of discussion how it could be read:

In new ABAP versions you can use segment function. Documentation can be found here: https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_752_index_htm/7.52/en-US/abensegment_functions.htm
